Rachel Cohen is the Mountain West News Bureau reporter for KUNC. She covers topics most important to the Western region. She spent five years at Boise State Public Radio, where she reported from Twin Falls and the Sun Valley area, and shared stories about the environment and public health.

As a National Science Health and Environment Reporting Fellow (SHERF), she studied the intersection of these topics and examined how climate change affects human health.

Her favorite part of working in public radio is getting to meet interesting people and talk about what matters to them. When not working, she enjoys hiking, skiing, checking out coffee shops and watching women’s soccer.
