Racheal Clark was looking for a home – and found it at the Groesbeck Journal. What began as a job (two years ago this week) has morphed into something more. Whether or not it turns into a career is still an open question, but for now at least, she’s a reporter covering four different counties and doing it exceptionally well.
Her adult background is a wandering, roaming path that started out in photojournalism at the University of North Texas and took a detour after she realized she wasn’t quite ready for academic life. She left UNT and moved to Waco.
“I spent the next 10 years there working as a server and bartender, just drifting through life,” she explained. She became a manager but didn’t end up making the restaurant business her life’s work either.
