Rachel Weber is the former US Managing Editor of 12DOVE and lives in Brooklyn, New York. Rachel began working in games journalism in 2006, combining her love of video games with her need to tell stories and share the things she's excited about. Starting as a fresh-faced staff writer of Official PlayStation Magazine, she went on to cover the business side of the industry with GamesIndustry.biz, before joining Rolling Stone's ambitious - if short-lived - Glixel project in 2016. She returned to Future and joined 12DOVE in 2017, revitalizing the news coverage and building new processes and strategies for the US team. Throughout her 15 years of experience, Rachel has interviewed celebrities about their gaming habits, chatted with PlayStation and Xbox bosses, written thousands of words of previews, reviews, and news, and appeared as an expert on BBC radio and TV. In the name of games journalism, she's also taken rap lessons, appeared on the streets of London as a zombie, tried her hand at sword-fighting, and taken part in more than one 24-hour gaming marathons.
