I began my career in magazine publishing, working for iconic titles such as InStyle, People, Real Simple, and Sports Illustrated for Kids. At the time, I never imagined how much I would devour Real Simple's essays and decorating tips, or that one day I would have a son who would eagerly consume Sports Illustrated.

Over the years, I've gained experience in marketing and PR, working with both consumer and lifestyle brands as well as nonprofit organizations. I've also edited a wide variety of content, from website copy and brochures to press releases and countless college essays from high school seniors.

My passion for writing has led me to teach workshops at schools, hospitals, nonprofits, and private events. On my podcast, Life's Accessories, I’ve interviewed authors, and on Baking with Rach, I had the fun experience of baking with authors live on air (even if the chocolate sauce didn’t always cooperate). I've also had the privilege of interviewing authors at in-person bookstore events.

As the author of four books—including Life’s Accessories: A Memoir (And Fashion Guide), Shopping For Love, My Name is Rebecca Romm, and Who’s Going to Watch My Kids? I've contributed essays to several anthologies, including On Being Jewish Now, Moms Don’t Have Time To, and Letters from Motherless Daughters.

In addition to my books, I’m a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Glamour, The Huffington Post, Kveller, The Jewish Exponent, Modern Loss, Parenting, Scary Mommy, and more. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania and earned my MBA from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.

I currently live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and New York City, where I spend my time writing, reading, practicing yoga, and nearly perfecting my chocolate chip cookie recipe.
