Writing and photography have always been two passions of mine. Before moving to China in 2015, I graduated with a bachelor degree in Public Relations and Mass Communications. After moving to China, I wanted to combine my experience writing with my love for traveling, and started Rachel Meets China to share my experiences with others.

Below is a portfolio of writing, photography, media events, and social media collaborations I have done with many brands. You can view my media kit at the bottom of the page.
