Telling sports stories that inspire
the game is merely the agency of emotion
what makes a story great?
some would say adversity or character development. maybe some votes for suspense or peculiarity.
I think great stories are told by great storytellers. empathetic listeners. people people. NATURAL RACONTEURS.
Hi, I’m Rachel. 👋
I’m a multi-media journalist who built my resume by having my hands in everything, and that passion for all aspects of storytelling carries my work today. I live life around the game clock to cover the most important, compelling and engaging stories in sports. From pre-production to postgame and every 1-on-1 in between, I produce, shoot, edit, interview, analyze in content that spans from breaking on the beat to heavy-hitting features. For me, storytelling requires a personal approach and I invest myself wholeheartedly.
A MODERN RENAISSANCE WOMAN
“The most amazing thing for me is that every single person who sees a movie, not necessarily one of my movies, brings a whole set of unique experiences; but through careful manipulation and good storytelling, you can get everybody to clap at the same time, to hopefully laugh at the same time, and to be afraid at the same time.”
— Steven Spielberg
