Biography

In 2010, Rachael graduated from the University of Aberdeen with an MA Management Studies. During her time at University she became involved with a number of extra-curricular activities; including forming and running, as President, a student run Careers Society, sitting on the Employability Committee and working as the Student Marketing Manager for the Careers Service. In 2010, she was awarded National On-Campus Student Employee of the Year by NASES, as an acknowledgement of her contributions to these roles. Further to this, Rachael established her own business in 2009, running historical ghost walks in the city centre of Aberdeen, as well as voluntarily running a non-profit group dedicated to researching reports of paranormal experiences. This led to her dissertation titled; “Revelations of the Spiritual Consumer: An exploration of the search for meaning and purpose within consumer culture”, and inevitably sparked an interest in anomalous experiences and her current research interest in the social interaction between groups seeking a paranormal experience.
