Welcome, and thank you for stopping by my page! 

I’m Rachel Ori. I'm a graduate of Iowa State University where I earned a Bachelor of Science - B.S., in public relations with minors in political science and speech communication.

I spent the beginning of my professional career working in the non-profit industry. Upon graduation, I dove into a six-month internship at Disability Rights Iowa. Following that endeavor, I became a Development & Communications Associate at Vote Smart, a national non-partisan political information center. A few months later, I was offered the opportunity to expand my role and become the organization's public relations specialist. After my time at Vote Smart, I began work at Two Rivers Marketing in April 2021, where I was a Strategic Communications Specialist. I was one of the primary content writers for an international heavy construction company, writing feature articles, blog posts, news releases, social media copy, and much more. It wasn't long before I was called back to my non-profit roots. In 2022, I began my role as a Media Relations & Content Specialist for the Greater Des Moines Partnership. This role included writing news releases, email messaging, internal communication, and more.

In the summer of 2023, I began working full-time on RCO Freelance Writing. A dream years in the making, I now offer my writing services to clients across the Des Moines area. I'm incredibly excited to see where this endeavor takes me.

When I'm not working, you can find me drinking an embarrassing amount of coffee, catching up on anything pop culture-related, and finding new songs for my Apple Music playlists. Speaking of pop culture, I also run a blog titled Pop Talk With Rach, which focuses on film, television, and more.
