I was born in Newcastle and moved to Menorca at the age of 9, where I learnt Catalan and Spanish. I studied up to university level in Spain then moved back to the UK to study Zoology and Marine Biology. I hold a DALF C1 in French and in Catalan, and currently translate from Catalan, French and Spanish into English.

“I had the pleasure of meeting Rachael in Madagascar and shared many wonderful experiences with her. Rachael is an honest soul and curious about everything that is waiting for her out there. One of our trips led us to visit the Bara tribe near Ranohira and the article Rachael wrote about them is perfectly accurate and truthful. Thank you Rachael for all your honest words and the great lines you wrote for our project too “. Ann-Kristin Becker, Project Lead – ex aqua
“Rachael and I became friends in Madagascar. I really enjoyed her unique perspectives during our conversations and loved her writing because one can really catch her personality speaking through her texts. I remember once she was brainstorming on ideas for an article and I jokingly suggesteded she write a piece on our sponge farming project. Now it is my favorite article on us because she really captured the work we do while adding a lot of our personalities to it. I am very much looking forward to reading more of your pieces! ” Lilia Britz, Project Manager – ex aqua
