Looking back at her history, Raquel graduated head of her high school class in Jamaica, W.I., and moved to New York where she studied Philosophy and English at Queens College, CUNY. She was voted President of the Philosophy Club for two consecutive years, raised funds to support noted and national speakers, and started a Philosophy tutoring program for students. Raquel then left longer-term legacies by publishing, ‘Philia’, a journal on philosophical thoughts, and by establishing the school’s first Philosophy Library.

With almost 20 years in business, including operations and sales, Raquel started her career at Bear Stearns as a Relationship Manager, before moving to Countrywide, where she was promoted to the coveted spot of Branch Operations Manager. She then left for an opportunity to become the Chief Operations Manager for a financial startup. There, she grew the business to have offices in 3 states, hitting sales goals of multiple millions, month after month. She subsequently took a leading role in setting up a cross cultural performing arts venture, collaborating with National Geographic, as a key sponsor and partners including New York City institutions, namely the Brooklyn Museum, El Museo del Barrio, and LaGuardia Community Arts Center. This initiative produced compelling theatre to encourage greater community cohesion across cultural divides, notably a show called, ‘How We Are Connected’, which attracted significant audiences. Raquel then moved on to Heartland, now Heartland Global, where she rose to Territory Manager, before stepping down to focus on her own entrepreneurial venture with Bunchful. Early successes at Bunchful include securing clients like Amazon and launching TalentQuest globally within that organization. Raquel has a keen business savvy and a unique brand of organizational thinking that she brings to bear as she charts an ambitious path ahead for Bunchful initiatives.
