Rachael Mhire is nothing if not resourceful. The current marketing coordinator for economic development at the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce has worked to build that brand in the region through cohesive messaging and design elements.
At her former employer, Paperwise Inc., though her title was public relations and events coordinator, she taught herself Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, as well as basic website coding, when the job duties opened up.
That attitude continues at the chamber, where she’s responsible for marketing Springfield for business and talent attraction.
“I’ve learned being a leader doesn’t mean you’re never afraid,” she says. “It means you have a willingness to face your fears, find your voice and press forward.”
