About the Author

Rachel Althof

Hey, all!

Here’s the short of it: I believe creative development is an essential component of human development, and we need amazing art teachers to do this. I love my work with AOEU as I get to work with brilliantly creative people as they develop their professional chops to develop more brilliantly creative people.

In my free time, I love staying active with family and friends on all kinds of adventures. You might find me on the ski slopes, the soccer pitch, or even a river in a kayak. I also love cooking and photography.
