Our People : Rachel Keel

Introduce yourself...When and why did you join ChemSpec? What made you consider joining us?

My name is Rachel Keel and I joined Chemspec in February 2018 as a Customer Service Representative. I wanted to work at Chemspec after Krista recommended it to me. She said that she loves working here and that it has a great atmosphere, and she was not wrong.

What is something curious or funny we should know about you? (your hobbies, passions, etc.)

 I majored in music in college and play the trumpet. I used to play for a travelling Sousa band called Sounds of Sousa until covid started and the band dissolved. – I really miss playing. I used to be an acrobat with great flexibility and core strength until I had my first child in 2020.

What is your favourite story from your time at ChemSpec?

My favourite thing we did as a group was when the OPS team played laser tag. It was fun to see everyone relaxed and having fun. I did not do well, but it was fun to try and see how competitive everyone was.

What is the one main takeaway candidate wanting to join ChemSpec should know and look forward to? 

Not having to do the same thing over and over.  Every day is something different regarding work challenges. We also have a lot of fun when everyone gets together. I think everyone is great to work with and there is no way you will not feel comfortable here.
