Rachel Lawrence-Heckler

FUNDRAISING STRATEGIST

Rachel brings a passion for education to her work at DMD. She attended Bryn Mawr College, where she received a bachelor's degree in political science, and later earned her master’s of education from Temple University.

Rachel worked for more than a decade as a secondary school educator and later as a freelance editor. Having experienced the benefits of a Catholic education firsthand—her small Catholic high school offered a nurturing and challenging alternative to the struggling school system in her childhood community—Rachel is committed to helping organizations provide similar opportunities to other young people.

Rachel serves on the board of the Home & School Association at her children's school and volunteers with education and children's advocacy groups. She lives in the Philadelphia area with her spouse and two boys.
