Rachel is currently doing a Master of Music (Mus.Ed.) with an interest in studying the aural training techniques of senior secondary teachers. She has two lorikeets and an absurd cat called Hugo who will often be found in inappropriate places around the house. Rachel has an obsession with all things avian and will sporadically be seen in various green places around Sydney searching for birds. She also writes a blog on narcolepsy - www.narcolepticgirl.weebly.org - and enjoys pondering the minutiae of a sleepy life.
