About our Panelists:
Rachel Peck has a triple Bachelor of Arts in Music, Communications, and Marketing from Houghton University and the 2023 Winner of the Houghton Young Alumni of the Year award.
She serves as the Executive Director of 431 Ministries. She and her husband, Justin, originally founded 431 after the Lord opened their eyes to the need for women's crisis support in the community.
Her work has fueled exponential, sustainable growth—now serving over 200 unique women per year—and has drawn national and international attention. Organizations from Pennsylvania, New York, and even Australia have sought her mentorship to replicate her unique approach in their own communities.
Rachel is a respected speaker, strategist, and advocate for women often left out of traditional systems. She created tools like the Re:Store Me Assessment© to track holistic progress across life and employment goals, and regularly trains leaders in nonprofit governance and client-centered program design. She lives in Middle Tennessee with her husband and two daughters and spends her time writing, mentoring, and tending to their family farm.

As Associate Administrator, Matt has taken on multiple strategic and operational projects including but not limited to employee engagement and retention initiatives, evaluation of growth opportunities for Outpatient services, the expansion of medical coverage capabilities for inpatients under our care; and most recently, has expanded his role to include Nashville market Intake centralization and network optimization.
Matt has been with HCA Healthcare for 4 years, with all of his previous experience coming within L&OD. Under his direction, service line teams experienced annual increases in leadership development program graduates, talent review participation rates, and transitional leadership support opportunities.

Throughout that time, he served as a successful high school football head coach for 4 years and taught Advanced Placement (AP) Psychology, Marketing, US History, and Leadership Development. Before transitioning careers and becoming an educator, Matt spent 6 years as a consultant in Washington, D.C., mainly assisting clients in disputes and investigations, risk-assessments, and government contracting support.

Andrew Norman
With over five years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked across multiple levels of care and leadership. My career began in forensic investigations supporting children who experienced assault, before transitioning into intensive case management services for both children and adults. I later served as a supervisor overseeing two case management teams for two years, helping guide clinical operations and staff development. Currently, I work in business development, where I focus on building partnerships and expanding access to mental health services to help reach and support more individuals in need.
