Rachael Hernandez, Civic Engagement Coordinator, Office of Civic EngagementI have to say, I was smiling as I re-listened to this for notes.Rachael has built a career around her heart and highest skills, and I truly enjoyed chatting with her about her trajectory and recognizing the value of her “older sister vibe.” We reflected on that moment where she got her start in community engagement, how her familial traditions influenced her volunteerism, and how she hopes to enhance the quality of life for her fellow citizens.As the first Volunteer Coordinator for the Health, Housing, and Homelessness Department at CABQ, Rachael developed and managed impactful volunteer programs and generated significant relationships needed to get the work done. Her current focus is enhancing volunteer opportunities, increasing civic participation, and fostering stronger connections between City departments and citizens. She has a special way of bringing joy to others and supporting the greater community.*When Mariah said Intel, she meant to say Sandia National Labs.https://www.oneabqvolunteers.com/https://www.cabq.gov/abq-volunteers/volunteer-of-the-month-nominations
