E3 - Energy and Efficiency with Emily is building science, architecture, and female entrepreneurship. Welcome to Season 2: In full support of female entrepreneurs, I had the pleasure of recording with Rachel Preston Prinz. Her unique journey in architecture to where she finds herself now is something that I’m thankful I had the privilege to hear. From learning that she would go blind to her dedication to the preservation of cultural heritage in her community. Rachel brings joy, passion, and gratitude. I hope you enjoy her story and check out the cool things she’s up to, including the documentary she made. All links in the show notes! ~ Enjoy!
