RACHEL KADUK Business Development Manager, Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee
If you buy the hype that millennials aren’t hard workers, then you haven’t met Rachel Kaduk. This Florida native knows how to get the job done—especially when working with her team at Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee. One such example: They recently hosted a party for 700-plus guests after the expected turnout was only 100. It took a massive effort, Kaduk says, but “we pulled it off, and we looked like we were rock stars all along.” Kaduk, who moved to Southwest Florida in 2002, loves Naples’ myriad opportunities to do good. “I am very blessed to work for a company that has a generous heart for so many great causes and organizations,” she says. Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee supports the Guadalupe Center, the Everglades Foundation, the Naples Botanical Garden, the PACE Center for Girls, the Humane Society Naples, and many more. High on Kaduk’s list is the Women of Seminole Gaming mentoring program for young women. “I am passionate about lifting up young women to know their potential and helping them achieve their goals.” Her love for supporting the next generation of strong women starts at home with her 8-year-old daughter, Audrey. Recently, they went on a “riches to rags” vacation. The riches— a trip to New York with three Broadway shows and sightseeing. The rags—camping in Michigan the week after. But regardless of whether she’s at home with her daughter or at work with her colleagues, Kaduk tries to live by these words: “All you can do is all you can do, and all you can do is enough.”
