Journalist + Science Communicator

RachelWilliamson-July2020-11.jpg
 

I am a science and business journalist and podcast producer and host.

For the last 15 years I’ve worked in locations around the world and written for publications including Cosmos Magazine, The Australian, Forbes, the Financial Times and Foreign Policy.

As a content creator I’ve worked with organisations including GE, ASX companies, and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

I host the podcasts That’s Not a Story, Trading Places - a podcast by Silverbird Global, and Breaking Banks Asia, the regional edition of the global top-10 fintech podcast Breaking Banks.


 

Today, I work with people in energy, health and climate-related fields to tell their stories in an evermore competitive media marketplace.

She went above and beyond to ensure she met our goals and expectations and delivered content in a timely and professional manner.
