Rachael Osorio opens up our ideas of connection and transformation in this influential and inspiring conversation.
Growing up in a small town sparked Rachael's curiosity and desire to immerse herself in opportunities that opened up an understanding of the different ways people see the world. After graduating with an undergraduate degree in International Relations, she dove into the world of non-profits only to be greeted by a persistent tug toward the world of education.
She pursued a Masters degree in the Arts of Teaching and worked in school districts with vastly different cultures. Having worked in both charter and public schools, she began to notice the gaps that the educational system failed to address in each community. Her desire to do more fuelled her to leave the classroom not fully understanding what would come next. The next two years she dedicated herself to reflection and pursuing a personal goal of speaking Spanish.
She moved with her husband and two young children to Costa Rica for a full immersion experience. A beautiful country full of beautiful people and very different challenges, it was there that she realized a connecting thread in her experiences: "Many of us have a strong desire to help yet aren't taking into consideration the specific values and challenges that each community faces, whether they're neighboring cities or different countries. We think we have the answers from the outside, but becoming rooted on the inside reveals a very different perspective."
This fuelled her desire to become a Solutions Strategist but with a different angle. Now residing in Washington, DC, Rachael works with organizations and individuals to unveil solutions using the deep knowledge of the recipients of the help and the local community involved. Still very passionate about understanding different perspectives she enjoys getting to know the truths that each community holds.
Hold onto your hats, this conversation will have you thinking differently about how you approach your role in the community, and your investment in making relationships that are strong and vibrant for the well-being of more than just your immediate circle.
