Rachel Moore

Rachel wants you to know that the “studies” claiming that watching reality television makes you smarter are in fact true. When she isn’t at work she can be found hiking with her two dogs, doing yoga, or getting too emotionally invested in a container of vegan chocolate mousse. Rachel is a born and raised Vancouverite, which means that she loves mountains and wears a lot of Lululemon. She handles all of the Straight’s branded content needs but dabbles into editorial writing when she has the time. Rachel prefers to write on risqué topics that don’t make her family very proud but the heart wants what it wants. She also enjoys writing lifestyle articles that cover food, dating, fashion, beauty, and health.
