Time for another staff profile! Meet our director of development Rachel Lattimore.

What is your position at Convos?
I am the Director of Development.

How long have you been at Convos?
I’ve been here almost 5 months.

What is your favorite Convos performance of all time?Four men from Third Coast Percussion stand and sit at a table with colorful handbells arranged on it. One member of the percussion ensemble, in a blue suit, sits on the table, ringing a yellow bell as the others watch and clap against pastel color blocks.
It’s a tie from this past season: NASSIM and Third Coast Percussion.

What is your favorite memory from your time at Convos?
I love how it feels when the house lights go down and there is a room full of people waiting for the show to begin.

What album do you currently have on repeat?
I just finished a Joni Mitchell biography so I’ve been listening to her compilation on Pandora.

What is the best concert you’ve ever attended?A man in a short-sleeve polo shirt plays an acoustic guitar and sings into a microphone on stage, with a black background—perfect for features like Staff Profiles or interviews with talented musicians such as Rachel Lattimore.
James Taylor at SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center) – it was a cool summer night and we sat on the lawn with friends and listened to great music. Whenever I hear James Taylor it brings me back to the summer of 1978.

What are three words that describe you?
Caring, Creative, and Friendly

If you could pick anyone or any show to perform at Purdue, who/what would it be and why?
Right now I’d love to see a show with Sarah Jarosz and the Wailin’ Jennys.
