Rachell Arteaga

Administrative Coordinator, Women's Media Center

Rachell Arteaga

I am:  reliable, enthusiastic, fun

What I do:  I am an office manager and project manager at The Women’s Media Center.  I love that I am making a difference in an area I’m passionate about – not only creating a media environment in which women can be visible and powerful, but also which is welcoming to women and girls.

My “career path”:  I took an amazing “Intro to Media Studies” Course in my freshman year of college, and I fell in love with media analysis.  This was solidified by my first internship – at Sesame Workshop – and sealed my commitment to children.  In particular I want to focus my efforts on media literacy & education for girls and children of color. 

My favorite things outside of work:
  I love reading!  That’s first and foremost.  I also enjoy eating, dancing, and dressing up for Halloween.

Tips for a successful girlfuture:

   Never be afraid to express yourself and question what’s “normal.”  This is how any real change ever happens.

  You absolutely need to work your butt off to succeed in your career.  However, you always have to draw a clear line so that work does not take away from family or from yourself. This is EQUALLY important to succeeding in life.
