Rachel began her career as a broadcast journalist, reporting from the U.K. regions before producing and presenting a daily news show in London. She then spent eight years as a foreign correspondent and editor based in Mexico, Australia, the U.S., and Slovakia, before returning to the U.K. and setting up a podcast production company. She’s been producing Mind Tools’ Book Insights and Expert Interviews since their inception in 2006. She enjoys drawing, reading and writing for fun, and has an unpublished novel and unmade screenplay lying in a bottom drawer.
