about me

Hi. I'm Rachel. I am a New York City journalist, telling stories about culture and social justice issues. 

I am currently a graduate student at Columbia Journalism School; and previously managing editor of Graphis, an international design publication in New York. Prior to Graphis, I reported on the enterprise team at Deseret News in Salt Lake City and covered politics and breaking news for KSL News.

Simply put, i write. Not-so-simply-put, I want to write it all, every moment, down to the way I press down upon the letters of this keyboard in a cadence of clicks. I itch to move the world with the nib of my pen. 

New York is my city.
I speak jibberish with my friends in cafes.
I keep daily tabs on flights to London when my gas tank is usually running on empty.
I long to know some understated, mapless coastal pocket on the edge of a continent.
I constantly ask myself what hepburn would do.
I believe in whimsical. 
I can count the number of freckles I have on all my fingers.
This no longer bothers me.
I search for obscure foods in farmer markets.
And this little piece of the internet is my secret life of daydreams.

When I am not moving words around or chasing a story, you can find me rehearsing pirouettes on the dance floor. You can follow me on Twitter, stalk me on Instagram, or just send me an email. You can view my resume here.
