As an artist, painter and writer, Rachel’s primary role is as Interior Designer for The Hills Group.

Her introduction to the construction industry began in the residential division for an international paint manufacturer 15 years ago and thus her love for color was born. Rachel wears many additional hats including managing Operations for the Hills Group of Companies; serving as Montserrat HOA Board VP, Chair of the Trade Builder Alliance Council, Board Member of North State Building Industry Association, and Board Member of Dress 2 Success. Regardless of which group Rachel is working with, her love for people and collaboration is indisputable.
