Rachel fuses her 15+ years of experience in the entertainment industry with her personal obsession of all-things pop culture to elevate and integrate brands into what's happening NOW. She has the unique ability to rattle off the latest TikTok trends, obscure Netflix shows with cult followings, today's biggest tweets that people are mad at, and why people are so addicted to True Crime podcasts (the list goes on and on). Rachel’s deep media, strategy, partnerships and events background, coupled with her mastery of culture, allows her to craft strategic, creative recommendations and execute them with extreme attention to detail, alongside her team.

I am an interdisciplinary multimedia storyteller looking to transition into the mental health industry. I have always loved storytelling. I learn so much about people and the lives they live. I am truly so amazed by the depth of the human experience, and so it is through multimedia based on the image that I share my passion. My work has been published on Confluence, The Gallatin Review, and Washington Square News and featured at Index Art Center and Gallatin Mental Health Arts Festival. At New York University, I built my own concentration: Ethics of Multimedia Storytelling. I enjoy talking to people and sharing experiences, but I've come to learn that the core of storytelling is active listening. People want to share their stories. They want to feel connected. The interpersonal skills that I have cultivated over the years is the foundation for my interest in transitioning to the mental health industry. I want to provide a safe and secure environment where people can share their experiences and acquire the tools to navigate life their past, present, and future life experiences in a healthy manner.
