I'm Rachel
In February 2025, I was accepted into the MA Publishing program at London College of Communication, part of the University of the Arts London.
To pursue this long-held academic goal, I relocated to London in September 2025, shortly before the academic term began. Since then, my postgraduate studies have deepened my understanding of publishing and its wider cultural and professional contexts.
I am frequently asked whether I intend to return to the United States or remain in the United Kingdom. This decision will ultimately depend on the professional and academic opportunities available to me and the direction of my career for 2027.
Alongside my studies, I consult in London as a publicist representing artists, which is helping me build relevant professional experience in a creative context.
In 2026, I traveled on weekend trips throughout England's parishes, including Rye, York, Bath, and Oxford. I've flown to Dublin, Ireland; Rome, Italy; Lisbon, Portugal; and Athens, Greece.
I have memberships with NetGalley and Bookouture for book reviews.

MS in Public Relations Showcase
MA in Publishing Showcase
Freelance Work Showcase
My work at Newhouse displays my understanding of research, promotion, PR, and DEI. Tailored to my interests in communications for the creative field. My final project was defined by a work of "merit." My intentions were to study valuable media.
I'm actively developing ideas for global media while at LCC in Elephant & Castle, tailoring my work toward business strategies. My planned dissertation is to study the contemporary media consumption and what it means for our future.
Here I will include my work from my time in public relations for the fashion industry, where I worked on several seasons of NYFW to the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund to The Hudson Yards Grand Opening to the opening of AP House in Meatpacking.
