Rachael Palazzi

Rachael has been creating for basically her entire life, using typical household materials and craft supplies to create objects.

She grew up in the hunter valley and spent some time as an event assistant before deciding that was not the path for her and decided to switch career paths. She fell in love with the theatre and performance as an actor throughout high school, she combined her love of making things and performance at NIDA and has expanded her knowledge and skills over her time at the institution.

Rachael strives to learn and grow with every project and creation.
