Rachel Otwell

I'm a public radio and digital journalist with degrees in women and gender studies, African American studies, liberal and integrative studies (I really like studying) and public affairs reporting. As a reporter, I've covered culture, equity, education, politics and more.

My stories have aired nationally and regularly air across Illinois. I'm spending 2019 working with ProPublica as part of its Local Reporting Network. You can read and listen to my work for NPR Illinois at the link above.
