About
I believe in bike commuting.
I believe in kitchen dance parties.
I believe art is a lot harder to make weirder than it is to reel it in.
I believe in ordering a bottle instead of a glass.
I believe in taking a break from booze.
I believe telling our stories is our best shot at changing the world.
I believe in reusable coffee mugs. (and the lattes they carry.)
I believe in the power of community.
Beyond beliefs, I have a journalism background and a master’s in digital storytelling. I am a writer with extensive agency experience who specialized in radio producing and personal essay.

“Dad’s friend Rachel that’s on NPR news.”
“Are you gonna wear that?”
“Rachel loves this work a little too much. I mean—she’s taking PTO to go work at a film festival.”
“Rachel’s able to capture a story in a way that’s both nuanced and raw—the kind of clarity that fosters immediate recognition in the heart of a reader.”
