Rachel Dowd, Wired Managing Editor

Hey, my name is Rachel Dowd! I am a Managing Editor for Westside Wired this year. I am currently a junior and this is my third year on Wired. A fun fact about me is that I went as a pirate 4 years in a row, using the same costume, from ages 5-9. No reason. I just like pirates. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at [email protected].
