Rachel Gray – Hello West Michigan

About Rachel Gray

Rachel is the Executive Director of Hello West Michigan. She grew up on the east side of Michigan not knowing there was a difference between "east side" and "west side" ....until she moved here for college and experienced it for herself. You'll typically find Rachel at a community event during the week, or at the beach, picking blueberries, or cross county skiing on the weekends (although not all on the same weekend).
