Hi there, My name is Rachel White, and I'm a hardworking journalist who aspires to make the world a more inclusive, better place through my work. I am prepared to work tirelessly to tell untold stories and to learn from those around me. I recently graduated with a master's degree from the Medill School of Journalism where I specialized in national security and social justice reporting as well as documentary filmmaking. My capstone documentary was nominated for a Chicago/Midwestern Emmy award in the long form, nonfiction category. I recently won a college Emmy award for a show that I produced during undergrad in Cuba. I also previously reported for The Daily Collegian where I covered the Sandusky trial from inside the courtroom. I have reported for numerous outlets using broadcast, print and social media.

From the Clinics to the Jail: The Mental Health Care Crisis in Chicago
Three years ago, Chicago closed half its public mental health clinics, a crucial source of care for low-income people, Blacks and Latinos. With a lack of other options, the Cook County Jail is known as the region’s biggest mental health care provider. Thousands of people with mental illness are housed there, often because of crimes of survival related to their illness.

The closing of six of Chicago’s 12 public mental health clinics in 2012 has become one focal point of this year’s mayoral race. Mental health advocates have protested the closings since they occurred.
