Professional Summary
Creative entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in sustainable jewelry design, ethical fashion retail, grassroots event production, and community-centered brand development. Since 2015, I’ve run Rachel Jackson Jewelry—an original handmade jewelry line rooted in Pacific Northwest aesthetics and values. In 2024, I launched She Wolf Studio as a new business identity: a membership-based studio boutique and concept lifestyle brand that curates ethical women’s fashion, produces original design collections, and creates space for slow retail and local collaboration. I’m currently expanding my business knowledge through formal education in operations management, human resources, and interdisciplinary studies at Fairhaven College.
