Marshall Einhorn is a former software consultant, with a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA from MIT. While he took a somewhat windy career path to Hillel and Jewish communal work, his time in the for-profit world both prepared him for his role and allows him to appreciate the gift of being passionate about his work each day. Marshall brings the pluralistic passion that was sparked as a student leader at Tufts Hillel to his work at Brown RISD Hillel, where he seeks to help students forge a deep and abiding relationship to Jewish life and to one another. Marshall lives in Providence with his wife, Deborah, and their three children, who firmly believe that the foosball table is the greatest thing about the Glenn and Darcy Weiner Center.

Rachel Eisen attended Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY, where she was a double major in History and Jewish Studies (and deepened her love for New York sports teams). When she wasn’t holed up in the library or running Jewish programming, Rachel taught religious school and was (and still is) a figure skater and competed with a synchronized skating team (yes, that’s a real thing!). Rachel has worked at a locally-based Jewish educational organization in the Washington, DC-metro area and has taught Holocaust history and global social justice. She’s extremely excited about Brown RISD Hillel and would love to help with any and all aspects of student programming! Feel free to shoot her an email or stop by Hillel when she’s working at the front desk.
