Rebecca is drawn to examining people who need to talk, unhinged trends, and the way culture and religion shape our understanding of the world. She writes creative nonfiction and journalism, and she's starting to dip her toes into dramatic writing (samples available upon request).
As a journalist, her work has been published in The Forward, The New Haven Independent and HowlRound Theatre Commons, among other publications.
