Meet Raquel

What do you do at Big Valley Marketing?
At Big Valley, I lead People Operations and Human Resources. Essentially, I’m here to help our people thrive. My work focuses on building a culture where every employee feels valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work. That includes everything from performance management and employee engagement to DEI, benefits, and ensuring we scale our culture as we grow. I believe in blending empathy with strategy, and I’m passionate about creating workplaces that are both high-performing and deeply human.

Why Big Valley Marketing?
I was drawn to Big Valley Marketing because of its clear sense of purpose, collaborative spirit, and commitment to excellence—not only in the work we deliver, but in how we support and celebrate our people. As someone who has spent years building culture in creative and fast-paced environments, I was excited to join a company where people and values truly take center stage. The fully remote structure also reflects a modern, flexible approach to work that I genuinely believe in, and I love being part of a team that’s innovating how marketing and people operations intersect.

What’s one thing fun or surprising/unexpected about you?
I’m equal parts grounded and expressive—whether that’s through my yoga practice, my nail designs, or ten summers at overnight camp. I became a certified yoga instructor in 2019 through Y7 Studio, and wellness and mental health remain core values for me. On the lighter side, I’m also a huge fan of creative nail art (always trying new trends), and I credit my early leadership roots to Pine Forest Camp, where I spent a decade singing campfire songs and learning how to lead with empathy—even before I knew that’s what I was doing.

to grow, win, and lead through effective,
expert-driven marketing and communications.
