A little about me
Hi, I’m Rach. I’m Deaf, autistic, ADHD, a mother, a woman, and fiercely gentle. I see the world a little differently, and I love sharing that perspective with others.
With a BA in Sociology from Gallaudet University and a Master’s in Media, Culture, and Communication from NYU, I’ve spent my career crafting messages that resonate and connect.
