Rachel Judge
Rachel’s journey began with roots in New York and an upbringing in Arizona, before she found her home in New Mexico. She earned both a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Educational Administration from New Mexico State University. Her collegiate years were marked by athletic excellence as a four-year student-athlete on the Aggie swim team. This passion for the sport seamlessly transitioned into her professional life; she dedicated over a decade to coaching women's swimming, including a significant tenure as the associate head coach at New Mexico State University, where she also directed a mentorship program for coaches of female sports. The discipline and resilience honed through her athletic and coaching career have profoundly shaped her people-centered approach. At the core of Rachel's professional endeavors is a commitment to a wholehearted leadership philosophy, which cultivates professional relationships and fosters personal development. Rachel currently manages a team of instructional designers at RainFocus (a platform leveraged for event management). In every interaction, she strives to create judgment-free environments where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to show up as their authentic selves, embracing the discomfort that often accompanies growth. Since making Farmington her home, Rachel has relentlessly folded herself into the community, living out her passion for helping others grow and make a difference. She continues to volunteer within the sport of swimming through Special Olympics and Piedra Vista High School Swim and Dive. Her commitment to local development is further demonstrated through her service on local boards and committees, as well as in fundraising efforts for various local programs, consistently seeking opportunities to positively impact lives within the community.
