About Me
International, National and Washington, D.C. Correspondent
Rachel Knapp is one of the hardest working journalists in the industry. Her love for journalism has led her to cover stories from the heart of the nation's capital city to reporting on politics, features, natural disasters, and covering the war in Ukraine. Rachel is currently based in Washington, D.C. as a Correspondent for Lilly Broadcasting TV and radio stations. She is not afraid to tackle any story. Following the great news anchor Walter Cronkite, she attended the University of Texas and earned a Bachelor's degree in journalism. She also has a Master's degree in international relations with a concentration on Africa from Norwich University.
Rachel was born and raised in Austin, Texas! With more than a decade of journalism experience, she has picked up reporting jobs in local TV markets in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Washington, D.C. She has done investigative work and filled in as an anchor. Her experience in covering politics landed her a spot in one of the most sought out reporting places: Washington, D.C. Before she jumped into her journalism career, she was a "fille au pair" (nanny) to triplet boys in a neighborhood outside of Paris, France.
Rachel loves journalism more than anything and is thankful to be living out her dream each day.
