Music is one of my biggest passions. I have written songs with Linkin Park and FKi 1st (one of hip hop's biggest producers), opened shows for Green Day and Twenty One Pilots, and have had one of my songs go RIAA certified gold. Cinematography started as a flirtation (a way to kick start my band) but over the years it has become a passion equally as large as music. I have worked with some of the biggest names in the business such as Nike, HyperloopTT, Palm Springs, Charlie Rocket, Vero, Bosch, Troye Sivan, Brat, Fashion Nova, and Ableton. My biggest accomplishment was contributing work on Nike's Emmy Award-Winning 30th Anniversary "Just Do It" commercial "Dream Crazy" featuring Colin Kaepernick, arguably their biggest commercial they've had to date. No matter what career path I take, my work ethic and my drive to be the best version of myself always results in success at the highest of levels.

After film school, I started my career in New York City as a Production Assistant and editor. It was exciting to balance my time between production and being on set and post production and editing a project for months at a time. My first producing job was a music video for James Taylor. I moved to Los Angeles and produced music videos and commercials. Soon after, I found myself going to Nashville to produce country music videos for Brooks and Dunn, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Martina McBride. I have been nominated for 14 Academy Of Country Music Awards for Producer / Best Music Video and have won the award 5 times. In-between the music videos I would produce commercials for clients such as FORD, Tropicana Juice, Kraft Foods, Varilux, Kia, Jack Daniels and Blue Cross to name a few. ​ Always keeping busy, I moved into Television producing specials and long form DVD's for NBC, ABC and FOX. Some of these include: THE PASSION (FOX - Produced all of the pre tape segments), Olivia Newton John-Live from the Sydney Opera house (a Live 10 camera performance based DVD), WIND IN THE WIRE - Producer for a TV movie for ABC, Rascal Flats, Nothing Like This - (ABC) a behind the scenes look of the band creating a new album. Along with numerous promos for NBC/Universal, Fox and ABC. ​ I've even kept up my editing skills by cutting documentaries for Wings Over Wendy's, Pioneers of the Automobile and several commercials and web series. ​ My philosophy has always been to create a “team” atmosphere with my production crew. Growing up, i worked in the family run dry cleaners, where my dad taught me every aspect of the dry cleaning industry. I learned to deal with the public and manage employees. I have put this same type of experience into producing. Over the years I have learned details of all equipment and I try to stay current with the latest trends in everything from cameras to lighting styles. I have made it a point to learn as much as I can from every department on a movie set or in post production. This comes in handy when budgeting and dealing with problems that arise during production. Because of my experience, I am able to aid in decisions and even think outside the box to come up with solutions to a problem. My background producing commercials, promos, documentaries, music videos and multi-camera shows has taught me that there are many creative solutions to the problems that arise in production.

I'm Rachel and I'm obsessed with the creative process behind conveying a story visually. I graduated SF State for photojournalism, won a Hearst Certificate of Merit for a video I shot and edited in Istanbul (where I befriended a home-grown "terrorist" group and many other exciting things), worked at two jobs while shooting video/photo projects for my hometown newspaper until I got the job I have now for the Las Vegas Review-Journal. I love this job because it throws me into situations I would not normally be in. The second video I ever shot was about abalone diving(never dived before) and I'm working on a mini-doc about a driving crew that drifts illegally, shutting down freeways to follow something they believe is their right in life. I'm easily enamored by my subjects. Good stories seriously make my life worth living. I can't imagine doing anything else.

I'm a Southern California-based video journalist who produces, shoots, and edits stories for BBC News, PRI's The World, The New York Times, TIME, PBS, and others. My video stories have taken me around the world, and I've worked extensively across Asia. I've produced and filmed video stories about camel traders in India, cat cafes in Japan, and a child goddess in Nepal. I previously worked as a video journalist for NBC News in New York City. It was there that I found my quirkiest, and most fun video story ever: a circus sideshow school in Coney Island (I learned fire-breathing isn't as hard as it looks!) I studied journalism and documentary filmmaking at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
