About Rachel

After a brief but successful career in sales, Rachel decided to enter the broadcasting field. For her it was a natural progression. In television news you sell yourself, your story and your station. She has worked hard to establish contacts and develop sources at each station where she has worked. She believes establishing trust with the viewer is of the utmost importance: that relationship has enabled her to enterprise stories and create compelling television.

Rachel (Pfanner) Wulff earned her Masters in Broadcast Journalism from American University, after receiving her undergraduate degree in International Relations from California State University, Chico. Her first on-air job was in Salisbury, Maryland at WMDT-TV, the ABC affiliate. Within months of being hired as a reporter Rachel was promoted to weekend anchor where she was writer, editor, producer and anchor of the 6 and 11 PM news. She learned a lot about crabbing, Nor’Easters and the poultry industry, but after three years she turned down the main anchor position to take a job in Northwest Ohio.

Rachel worked as a weekend anchor/reporter at WTOL-TV, the #1 station in Toledo, for three years. It was there that Rachel covered George W. Bush and John Kerry and their many trips to the Buckeye State during the 2004 presidential campaign. She did a series of reports on ‘Tornado Sunday’, when five people died after a freak line of funnel clouds touched down in early November. As the ‘Assignment Education’ reporter, Rachel followed Toledo Public Schools as the district climbed out of Academic Emergency. Rachel enjoyed Ohio, but when a job in Philadelphia opened up, she took the opportunity to move closer to family and into a larger market.

Rachel worked as a reporter/fill-in anchor at Comcast News 8, a regional cable network based in Philadelphia for a year--until the company downsized its local news operations. During her time there she substituted as co-host of ‘Your Morning’ which is seen by up to 9 million viewers from Boston to Richmond. In August 2006 Rachel began working as a freelance reporter at FOX 29 in Philadelphia. She has covered the increasing wave of violence in the City of Brotherly Love as well as the Phillies 2007 playoff run.
