As Project Manager for the Government Team, Rachel Snyder Miller brings a passion for good writing and advocacy to work each day. She enriches Milepost with broad cross-sector experiences from the education and nonprofit worlds.
After earning her Master's in Public Administration from UNC-Chapel Hill, Rachel moved into the nonprofit sector and then began working as a grant writer for organizations all over the country, but her MPA work sparked her lifelong love of the government sector.
She wrote federal grants for CDFIs and other equity-focused organizations and has transferred this expertise to aid Milepost clients in their pursuit of funding opportunities under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). She is excited about the future of clean energy due to the wealth of funding available during these once-in-a-generation investments.
Rachel calls Knoxville, TN home and loves hiking in the Smoky Mountains with her daughter and husband. A self-professed local government nerd, she is a huge fan of Leslie Knope and thinks Galentine’s Day should be a national holiday: waffles for all.
