Rachel Ainsley

Rachel Ainsley

MANAGING EDITOR

Rachel has been with Around DB for some time (longer than anyone can remember). A control freak who’s all about deadlines, words and pictures, she knows a good story when she sees one and gets a kick out of featuring local talent. Rachel loves kindness, music, driving with the wind in her hair and a good giggle.

Kristin Jiang

Kristin Jiang

SALES MANAGER

Kristin leapt on board in April 2025. Charming, dynamic and persistent, she’s a sales force to be reckoned with, and she also moonlights at Harvey Law Group as business development manager. When Kristin has time to spare, she loves playing tennis, reading and sharing a tasty bottle of wine with friends.

Sarin Ale

Sarin Ale

ART DIRECTOR

Sarin waltzed into our midst in November 2021 and immediately raised the bar. When working her creative magic, she’s proactive, professional, patient and enthusiastic. Sarin loves travelling to cold places, painting and watching the rain. She’s proud of her Nepalese heritage and has an annoying obsession with dogs.

Kayli Liebenberg

Kayli Liebenberg

DIGITAL MARKETING COORDINATOR
