About Me

Hi Everyone! My name is Rachel and I am the Sustainability Officer for the 2024-2025 school year. This is my first year on the MSS and I am super excited to be working with an amazing team as we strive towards putting sustainable practices at the forefront of the MacSci community. Raising environmental awareness and taking action on campus are just some of the plans we have for this year. Outside of the MSS I love getting sweet treats with my friends, watching new movies and travelling with my family. On campus you will most likely find me on the third floor of Mills by the big window that overlooks campus - don’t hesitate to say hi if you see me there! I am looking forward to putting all of our plans into action this year and please feel free to reach out to me with questions or ideas at any time!
