Rachel Nickerson
Sales Coordinator
Tofino is Rachel’s soul place. She is stoked to have created a beautiful life here and even more so a magical career with the Tin Wis. Rachel came to Tofino on a short work contract for the Rip Curl Pro Surf competition, and when it was time to head back to reality she was not ready to say goodbye to paradise. You could say the ocean called, and she had to go. She quit her job, bought a van with a bed, and moved out to Tofino with just a hope and a dream. Rachel joined the Tin Wis team as a Guest Service Agent over two years ago, and her passion for Tofino and the Tin Wis Resort has lead her to becoming an extraordinary Sales and Marketing Unicorn!
