My mission is to pursue community transformation by uniting diverse individuals through meaningful storytelling that restores, develops, and empowers the voice of those in my community, in my cities, and in corners around the world.

When I look back at each of these opportunities, I see a common thread as “story.” My passion is storytelling and I believe that God can use and will use a variety of avenues for storytelling in my life.
In this next season, I hope God continues to open doors for me to tell stories through a marketing career in a company that allows me to lean into graphic design, brand strategy, and project management.
Now that you know a little more about me, I will simply end by saying that I have always loved writing, thinking innovatively, and creating, and will love any job that allows me to do any or all. Interested? Let's grab coffee—or Thai food!
Oh also! I got married two summers ago, so you will see my name come up as either ‘Rachel Gaugler’ or ‘Rachel Saavedra’!
Hi! I’m Rachel. I grew up in New York City and continue to call Queens one of my homes. I came to Southern California to study journalism at Biola University in 2018 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations and Journalism in May 2022.
One of my passions is working with students (check out why here!) and I enjoy being a youth ministry leader at my church where I have the chance to hang out with some teenagers and play dodgeball all the time. A few more quick facts: I love Thai food, my favorite vacation was Peru, I’m half-Filipino, I’m currently writing my first fantasy novel, I love to play volleyball (especially at the beach), and I am 100% down to go skydiving again.
Since graduating, I leaned into every open door to work with youth, strengthen my administrative skills, participate in research projects, and coordinate weddings.
