Meet Rachel Heaton

University College

Hello, my name is Rachel and I've been a project and program manager in the technology space, both infrastructure and software, for the last several years. Presently I work as a Sr. Program Manager for Disney Streaming, overseeing new market launches & global expansion as well as feature adds. I graduated from DU with a Masters from the ICT program in 2020, and I hope to stay connected to the DU community to build a strong community of female technologists from a wide variety of backgrounds. Women should reach out to me for salary negotiation techniques, career advancement questions, or mentorship opportunities.
