Primarily a screenwriter and journalist, Rachel was also the 1996 Poet Laureate of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She holds a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Screenwriting from Emerson College in Boston and has studied acting at Loughborough University (UK) and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.

Rachel's work centers on the promotion of cultural unity through the performing arts, with a focus on the Indian film industry. Her feature script, “Little India” was a semi-finalist in the 2006 American Screenwriting Competition and a 2006 Gloria Film Festival Screenplay Competition selection.

If you ever come to Tucson, I could invite you to become a featured guest on the TV program I host and produce entitled "World Harmony: Can It Happen?, meant to create more peace and human harmony in our world.

For now, though, let's become friends at least, ok?

All the best to you, Rachel,
Stuart
