Rachel Blocker

Administrative Assistant

One of our newest staff members is Rachel Blocker, who began working at AAEA in late June of this year as our Administrative Assistant. Rachel fulfills a wide variety of tasks across the office from providing member support to managing invoices. This fall she will also begin working more closely with our exhibitors, collaborating with them during conferences to ensure the smoothest experience for both them and our attendees. She says, "Every day I learn more about AAEA and all that we do to aid the advancement of education in Arkansas."

Rachel graduated from Arkansas State University in May of 2022 with a BA in Communication Studies and minor in History. After graduating, she moved back home to Central Arkansas to be around her family again. While living in Conway, she worked as a sales representative until she found her home here at AAEA.

Rachel says her favorite part of working at AAEA is "the tangible impact that AAEA makes in Arkansas education. I am proud to be a part of an organization that is dedicated to lifting Arkansas’s educational leaders up, and in turn aiding them in inspiring the next generation of Arkansans."

When not at work, Rachel enjoys spending time with her family, exploring the outdoors, reading, and volunteering with the humane society.
