Carrie is a devoted professional with extensive experience in event planning, nonprofit work, and business development. After discovering her BRCA gene mutation six years ago, she underwent risk-reducing surgeries. She became deeply involved with NothingPink, an organization close to her heart due to her family's history of cancer. Her passion lies in supporting Previvors and Survivors, offering them empathy and expertise born from her personal journey and professional background.

Rachel Simpkins started her career after graduating from Northeastern University as an operations manager.  She received a breast cancer diagnosis in May of 2020 and realized that life had other plans for her. Rachel’s role as a Patient Navigator allows her to both sympathize and empathize with the women she connects with.  As someone with a family history of breast cancer, a wife and mother of four young children, Rachel understands many of the needs of our patients and is ready to connect individuals with the resources that they need.
