Rachel Monroe, DoDC

I am excited to share that I recently stepped into the role of Development & Communications Director at Pennock Center for Counseling. I initially joined the team as a part-time employee in November 2025 and transitioned to a full-time position earlier this month.

I hold a degree in Nonprofit Management with a minor in Human Services and bring nearly three decades of experience in the nonprofit sector. My passion for community-centered work has guided my career, and I am honored to contribute that experience to an organization that is so deeply committed to supporting mental health in our community.

Over the past decade, I have had the opportunity to support Pennock Center for Counseling in a variety of ways, which makes this new role especially meaningful to me. As Development & Communications Director, I will be leading efforts to grow and strengthen the Center’s fundraising and marketing strategies to help ensure continued access to compassionate, affordable mental health services for our community. I am truly grateful to be part of the Pennock team and look forward to the impact we can make together in 2026 and beyond.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and my two cats, supporting local musicians by attending live performances, dancing with friends at some of my favorite local spots, exploring vintage shops, and hosting gatherings for family and friends in my home.
