Meet Rachael, our Family Services Director at JP Boston. In her role, she oversees programming designed to support and uplift single mothers pursuing higher education. Drawing on her background in mental health and social work, she leads with both strategy and heart, while also staying connected to the work through coaching and relationship-building. Rachael is passionate about this work because it mirrors her own journey of single motherhood, making each success story even more meaningful.

What she loves most about coaching:

Rachael enjoys coaching because she gets to witness moms set meaningful goals for themselves and their families—and then take real steps toward achieving them. She says, “there’s something powerful about supporting women as they build pathways toward stability, confidence, and long-term success.”

Words that inspire her:

“Start where you stand.” - A simple reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. You just have to take the first step from where you are.
