Hi! I’m Rachel.
I’m an Emmy Award-nominated and Peabody Award-winning editor based in New York City.
My editing is grounded in attention to detail and to pacing, always with story in mind.
Since 2018 I have been a staff editor at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which won the 2025 Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Talk Series.
Prior to that, I worked on series for Netflix, PBS, CNN, Hulu, VH1, Seriously.TV, and Comedy Central's former website Atom.com.
