Rachel Ginocchio, MPH

Freelance writer, educator, and consultant

Although I can’t ever go fast enough for my tastes, MPH does not stand for miles per hour.

Rachel holds a Master’s Degree in Public Health (MPH) with a focus in maternal and child health. She received her degree at the University of Washington as an MCHB Economics Fellow, and her master’s thesis is published in a peer-reviewed academic journal.

Rachel directed two women’s reproductive health clinics and served as a health communications specialist for the American Sexual Health Association. As a Genetics Community Planner, she co-developed and widely presented a five-year strategic plan for genetics in Oregon. She now teaches puberty and human reproduction in private and public schools in Portland.

Rachel spent eight years building her family through assisted reproduction and adoption. She emerged from parenthood writing, teaching, and presenting a modernized version of human reproduction. She is thrilled to be debuting her first book, Roads to Family: All the ways we come to be.
