Rachel
Rachel Torres is a 33-year-old investigative journalist for a regional newspaper, dedicated to holding powerful institutions accountable through thorough, fact-based reporting. After working her way up from local news to the investigative desk, Rachel has developed a reputation for patient, detailed reporting on complex stories. Currently, she's investigating financial irregularities at a major local employer, uncovering evidence of fraud that will hurt the company but expose wrongdoing that affects thousands of employees and investors. She's navigating the journalist's dilemma of knowing that necessary stories sometimes harm people who aren't responsible for the problems being exposed, and learning that investigative journalism means accepting that truth-telling has complicated consequences even when it's the right thing to do.
