About Rachel Simmon

Hailing from the great state of New Jersey, Rachel joined the UM ranks as an intern in 2006. After handling a myriad of oddball tasks in the early years, she began spearheading UM’s merchandise program in 2009. When not overseeing art direction or writing email blasts from her desk in the UMHQ, you can find her on the road coordinating umVIP operations, or at home in the Chicago ‘burbs raising a couple of kick-ass kids with her husband. As the last line of defense on most printed UM materials, Rachel suffers from recurring nightmares about typos.
