Rachel is a writer who grew up in Humboldt County and has lived her adult life in coastal cities of California. Like many of us, she began writing poetry as an adolescent. She eventually found herself happiest as a nonfiction essayist who dabbles in fiction with short stories. She is currently working towards a MA in Applied English at Cal Poly Humboldt. She hopes that her work, both her writing and her other pursuits can facilitate people feeling seen, heard, and feeling connected to themselves and to others.
