Rachael Travis

Legal Assistant

I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and earned a double degree in Political Science and Economics, with a minor in Photography, from Guilford College. After graduating, I relocated to Washington, D.C., where I worked as a lobbyist alongside a coalition of feminist, progressive advocates, focusing on domestic human needs and gun violence prevention.

I am deeply passionate about advocacy and view my work as an extension of that commitment, amplifying voices and advancing policies that support and protect communities. In addition to my professional work, I have engaged in advocacy efforts with the National Women’s Soccer League, offering input on opportunities to strengthen the league through supporter feedback.

Outside of my career, I enjoy sports, especially baseball and soccer, and value teamwork both on and off the field. I am also committed to education and empowerment, particularly through bystander intervention training, where I help equip others with tools to support those around them.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, exploring Oregon wines, photography, and spending time outdoors with my cattle dogs. I also cherish time with my partner, family, and friends, and seek to approach life with curiosity, connection, a sense of humor, and just a dash of sass.
