Rachel Marsden
Marsden speaking at CPAC in 2008.
Born (1974-12-02) December 2, 1974 (age 50)
Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada
Occupation(s)Columnist, political commentator, lecturer
WebsiteRachelMarsden.com

Rachel Marsden (born December 2, 1974) is a conservative political columnist, television commentator and university lecturer, originally from Canada but now based in Paris. She is also the CEO of Rachel Marsden Associates, which describes itself as "an international firm headquartered in Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, with extensive experience in Defense, Intelligence, Politics, Media and Public Affairs issues." A fluent French speaker, she teaches at Sciences Po University in Paris. As of March 2016, she hosts a twice-weekly French-language geopolitical talk show on Sputnik News from the network's Paris studio. As of 2018, she is also a nationally ranked competitive swimmer at the masters level in France, specializing in sprint freestyle and butterfly.

In the 2000s, she was a columnist for publications such as the Toronto Sun and Human Events magazine. Her column is currently syndicated by Tribune Content Agency

Early life and education

Marsden grew up in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. As a high school student at Terry Fox Secondary in 1992, Marsden received a bronze Governor General's Academic Medal .

Marsden was inspired to go into journalism by listening to Canadian radio personality Jack Webster when she was growing up. In 2002, she took a political journalism training course at the National Journalism Center in Washington, DC.

Marsden graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Simon Fraser University (SFU) with a minor in French language. As a SFU student, Marsden came to public attention when she was at the center of the Simon Fraser University 1997 harassment controversy, in which she and a swimming coach publicly accused each other of sexual harassment. The coach was dismissed, then re-hired by the university after doubts were raised about the credibility of Marsden's accusations against him. Over ten years later, Marsden was interviewed by the university's newspaper and said of the events: " were more interested in quelling negative PR than defending the truth. I was told by SFU to keep quiet and say nothing to the media. My only regret is that I listened to them."

Career

Marsden first broke into journalism in the early 2000s, writing for conservative web sites. In 2002, she worked for the Free Congress Foundation.

In 2005, she had a column at National Post for two months. Later that year she was hired by the Toronto Sun as a weekly opinion columnist, and wrote for them until November 2007. Her syndicated column has appeared in the online edition of The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator, and Townhall.com, and reprinted a few times in Wall Street Journal and the New York Daily News. In 2004 Marsden appeared as a guest on Dennis Miller Live. In 2005 she appeared twice as a guest panelist on The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel. Marsden appeared on the Fox News Channel until 2007.

In early 2007, she moved from Toronto to New York City.

In 2007, she was hired as one of five panelists on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld, a then new late-night talk show that began airing in February 2007 and worked there for five months. She appeared once in October 2007, as a guest panelist on CNN's The Situation Room. Marsden has been compared to Ann Coulter in opinion and presentation.

In 2009 Marsden moved to France, and since then she has been a regular panelist on LCP Politique Matin, carried on the state-owned parliamentary television channel La Chaîne parlementaire in France. She has appeared as a political analyst on Crosstalk, carried on Russia Today. She currently teaches some classes at Sciences Po as enseignante, or adjunct member of the teaching staff.

In November 2011, she self-published a novel, American Bombshell: A Tale of Domestic and International Invasion through Createspace.

Her opinion columns are distributed in the United States by the Chicago Tribune's syndication service.
