Rachel is the person to contact about: story leads, feature ideas and speaking at news:rewired events.

Rachel joins the news team fresh from university, where she studied multimedia journalism - and enjoyed the odd lie-in - for three eventful years.

Her media journey began with a jammy work placement at BBC Worldwide as a young teenager, and she has since gone on to produce work in print, video, radio and online for a range of news organisations, from local and regional newspaper houses to national agencies, most recently producing online content for Reuters and the Press Association.

Away from the media world Rachel's biggest loves are bargain shopping, watching documentaries and often regretfully - eating as much chocolate as possible.
