Rachel Hook
Board Member

Rachel believes that every person should have the fundamental right to security. Her definition centers around the ability to be free from excessive worry, but also includes aspects such as physical wellbeing and safety, food security, and spiritual assurance.  She is convinced  that people across the globe will continue to experience struggles, but there is no greater hope than knowing our eternities are guaranteed.

​As a contract negotiator for nearly a decade, Rachel’s skills translate nicely into the non-profit realm. She is an effective communicator, a successful relationship builder, and finds creative solutions to solve complex problems.  Rachel is grateful to be able to leverage her experience to support Bloom International’s efforts to change lives by providing additional security around the world.

Rachel holds a bachelor’s degree in Business, and a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.). She is married, has two children and a dog.
