Bio
Charlotte W
Working with Rachel is a breeze, she knows how to get the best results out of everyone. She is extremely organised and thorough but keeps an open mind and is able to think creatively. She always has her mind on the job and she is very easy to get along with.
Liz D.
Rachel did a great job for us at Godzone, and learnt a lot in the process, quickly becoming a top production assistant. Subsequently, we incorporated her talents into the team on a number of projects we have been involved in - Billy T; Te Movie, Shackleton's Captain and Clips. We encouraged her to change roles and take on new challenges which she did, each time, excelling at all of them! She is smart, dedicated, passionate about film and TV and I would have no hesitation in recommending her for any role she is interested in fulfilling.
