And just keeps writing

IMG_1520.jpg

Rachel has worked in the nonprofit and government sectors, drafting official communication to the President of the United States. She then followed her life's passion and became a high school English teacher. 

​

Now, she's marrying those two words by writing exclusively for the education market. She has written textbooks, teachers' guides, lesson plans, and just about everything in between.

 

Take a look at Rachel's full list of writing accomplishments below. Then reach out directly to talk about your education project.

​

Rachel writes in such an easy-to-read kind of way. You can tell she began her writing career as a journalist and then worked as a teacher! She has the ability to take huge, complex ideas and make them succinct and easy for anyone to understand. I would trust her with absolutely anything I need written.
