Rachel Cavanaugh studied photojournalism and anthropology at the University of Montana in Missoula. As an intern with Big Sky Publishing, she spent time photographing wildlife in Yellowstone National Park. After graduation, she worked for three years in Central America as a news reporter for The Beach Times, an English-language weekly in Costa Rica. She then worked for a year as editor of the Goldendale Sentinel before being hired with the Woodburn Independent. Her photographs and writings have appeared in publications including Balance, At Home, Belgrade News, Lone Peak Lookout, West Yellowstone News, and the White Salmon Enterprise.
Before starting as a journalist, she was a whitewater raft guide and a ski lift operator. In her spare time, Rachel likes to snowboard, kayak, swim, run and salsa dance.
