Biography
Rachel Rock is a journalist, writer, and audio producer. Her reporting has aired on NPR All Things Considered, Boston's GBH News, and The World Radio (PRX). Rachel also produced a series of audio stories for the digital media company, iPondr (6 non-narrated and 2 narrated). She’s written articles for iPondr, GBH News, The Dorchester Reporter, The Newton Tab, and The Wellesley Townsmen. A 2020 graduate of the master's in journalism program at Boston University’s College of Communication, Rachel uses her multimedia skill set to capture stories that shift the mindsets of both those who hold the power in society, and more importantly, those who do not. Prior to becoming a journalist, Rachel worked on democratic systems in Central America, most notably in support of the civilian opposition to Panamanian General Manuel Noriega in 1989. On-site experience monitoring a stolen election and the subsequent failed diplomatic effort to remove Noriega showed Rachel the power of those who create the narrative of history and the power of a free press. With a master’s in international Affairs and Economics, she joined ACCION International to provide financial services to the working poor throughout Latin America. Through this work, Rachel witnessed the raw potential of men and women to defy their personal circumstances becoming borrowers instead of beneficiaries. The individual stories of this simple yet powerful identify-shift unleashed millions of dollars to impact hundreds of thousands of lives.
