If you want to know what it's like to climb Kilimanjaro, paraglide with a hawk (a.k.a. "parahawk"), ice climb while simultaneously acting as the Director of Photography on an EMMY-nominated TV show, direct award-worthy content for Lady Gaga, or SCUBA dive cage-free with bull sharks, Rachel's the woman to ask. As an EMMY-Nominated On-Camera Host, Producer, Camera Operator, Writer, Award-Winning Photographer, and Explorers Club Fellow, Rachel has traveled all seven continents, lived in three countries and journeyed through 80+ nations. She likes the stuff that makes palms sweaty and brains explode with inspiration.
