Publishing Background
Rachel’s path into publishing began early. As a child, she started reading and editing her mother's novels and short story collections. That hands-on introduction to understanding and shaping language sparked a lifelong passion. After working at the University Writing Center and as an editorial intern, she moved to Philadelphia.
There, she began working at Taylor & Francis, first as a production assistant and later as a production editor. There, she gained a deep understanding of the publishing workflow, from manuscript to finished product, along with a sharp eye for detail, consistency, and quality control. She then moved into medical publishing at Elsevier, where she built expertise in handling complex, technical material and ensuring clinical content is accurate, clear, and accessible.
After a brief stint writing reports and managing projects in real estate appraisal, Rachel joined Scalable Growth. Today, she brings that full range of experience to behavioral health and addiction content, combining editorial rigor, medical-publishing precision, and a compassionate voice.
A Focus on Mental Health, Consent, and Autonomy
Rachel has been interested in psychology, mental health awareness, and sexual education for as long as she can remember.
That curiosity carried into her 5-year-long passion project. She created, produced, and hosted the Wine, Dine, and 69 podcast, fostering open, honest conversations about subjects many people are taught to avoid.
When she first heard about intimacy professionals in the wake of #MeToo, she knew it was something she had to pursue. In her work as an intimacy director, she guides performers through vulnerable scenes with a focus on consent, communication, and autonomy, both on and offstage.
Through it all, one belief stays constant: people deserve to make informed choices about their minds, bodies, and relationships, and they’re far more likely to do so when they feel respected rather than judged. That belief shapes the compassionate, stigma-free approach she brings to her writing and creative endeavors.
