Alongside her ever-growing collection of colorful winter scarves, Rebecca’s defining traits include her deep love of playlist-making, proper data collection, and the book club alumni network she runs (not in that order.) She is a very passionate advocate for proper representation in the marketing and publishing industries and can often be found walking briskly around the city, muttering about the local tourists.​
