Rachel Feldman
Chief of Staff for Phil Scott, Age 32
Montpelier resident Rachel Feldman did not always live in Vermont. In fact, it was a summer camp, Farm and Wilderness in Plymouth, her parents sent her to when she was nine that sparked her love for the great green state of Vermont.
The now chief of staff for Lieutenant Governor Phil Scott explains how those five years of summer camp changed her life, “It was the first time this nerdy kid who got teased in school, found friends who accepted me for who I am.”
