Hi! I am Rachel Means

I am based in Los Angeles, CA and have experience writing and editing in multiple styles for various purposes/projects. I particularly enjoy writing about women’s sports. It's important to me women athletes get the representation they deserve.

I received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Point Loma Nazarene University and my M.Ed from the University of Florida. I have a background in education and taught third grade before deciding to pursue a career in writing. I currently write for the football club LAFC and Kaya Multimedia Design. I have worked on copy edits, email/SMS marketing, content pieces, blogs, run social media accounts and completed miscellaneous assignments as needed.
