Rachel Szczytko, M.S.

Bio

I am working to improve health and well-being through our educational, environmental, and social systems. I'm focused on how we know we're effecting these systems, so I create tools and processes for communities to measure their impact.

 

I have over 10 years of experience in the environmental sector. I've taught education for sustainability in Whakatīwai, New Zealand, worked as a park ranger in New Hampshire, and evaluated a statewide outdoor science program in North Carolina. In the past, I've served on non-profit boards, mentored undergraduate students, and conducted independent research on diverse topics ranging from the craft beer movement to adolescent girls’ science achievement. I most recently worked in environmental philanthropy in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Education

I have M.S. in Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management from North Carolina State University and a B.S. in Environment from the University of Michigan. 

I'm also a proud Blandford Environmental Education Program (BEEP) alumna of Blandford School.

Employment

I'm currently a social scientist, evaluator, and consultant.

 

I am also pursuing my Ph.D. at Michigan State University, where I'm studying the role young people play in communities addressing sustainability challenges.
