Rachel is a playwright, dramaturge, and author. With a background in theatre performance, Rachel’s writing is known for its sharp dialogue, strong characterization, and exploration of life’s uncomfortable grey areas.

She has written three plays for teen audiences: Still•Falling, The Code, and Caged, all of which were premiered and toured by Vancouver’s Green Thumb Theatre. Still•Falling and The Code are published as a duo by Talonbooks, and were recognized with the Jessie Richardson Theatre Award for Significant Artistic Achievement and the Sydney J. Risk Prize for Outstanding Original Play by an Emerging Playwright respectively.

Her first offering for adult audiences, The Watch List, premiered with Saskatoon’s 25th Street Theatre to critical acclaim. PodSask’s Matt Olson called it “an unmitigated slam dunk”.

Rachel lives in on the traditional territory of the Lhtako Dene People in Quesnel, BC with her husband Kyle, daughter Elliot, and two ridiculous chihuahuas.
