Rachel De Barros

I got my start in video production and content creation on Youtube. The channel was called Gearhead Diva (cue sassy finger snaps) and I did everything from basic repairs to mods and restorations in my driveway. It was a great outlet to explore storytelling and emerging media outside my cubicle ad agency work. What started as a hobby to document my wrenchventures turned into an active community that related to my many fails and facepalm moments. It wasn't long before production companies noticed and that led to an automotive TV career on "All Girls Garage" on the Motor Trend network. Hosting the show for 4 years, appearing on a variety of news segments as an auto, home and electronics expert, and working in content development for over a decade keeps pushing me to challenge traditional formats and bridge the gap between the screen and the fans. With a passion for telling stories through my hands, I enjoy working on everything from classic cars to home renovation projects and even hacking the latest tech. As a result, I'm able to connect with audiences in an authentic and relatable manner through personal stories, lessons learned, and practical tips and advice not found on any script. TV HOST I’m a hands-on, authentic and relatable television personality so if you’re just looking for someone that can memorize lines and spew it out on camera, then move along. I’m not the droid you’re looking for. PRODUCER I believe great brands deserve great stories - so I tell them in all shapes sizes - whether through bite-sized social videos, unscripted TV series featuring unforgettable characters or cutting edge immersive 360 video experiences. SOCIAL INFLUENCER I love discovering new products and then turning them into engaging stories that inspire sharing across social media through custom video that stays true to our content while featuring a brand's product or messaging.
