.153 Rachel Saputro

Complete with an infectious personality, a killer sense of style and all-around good energy, Rachel is a true rockstar that I’m grateful to have become friends with. We met when she became part of the TEDx team, and thank goodness for that. Rachel brings a smart perspective and important voice to all that she does, and having her on our team was a wonderful addition in terms of great ideas, positivity, and kindness.

It’s hard to describe but I feel like Rachel has this wise sense of maturity, making conversations with her a true delight and always interesting. She thinks before she speaks and her thoughtfulness seems to carry into every interaction. The TEDx journey was a wild one and having Rachel as a part of that, even if our crossover was only a year or so, was crucial and incredibly helpful. She provided such a lovely vibe and collaborative spirit to the team and just seeing her at meetings was enough to brighten the moment and your day.

Rachel, thank you for being such a compassionate soul and for being game for any type of challenge. Thank you for your openness to new experiences and for bringing such a refreshing energy to the room. Thank you for chatting today and for making time to do so. Thank you for being a truly good human being, and thank you, Rachel, just for being you!
