Rachel Dziuba graduated from Our Lady of the Lake University with a B.S. in Environmental Science & Sustainability and Biomathematics in 2024. During her undergraduate studies, she interned with the United States Department of Agriculture Farm Loan Program, where she gained valuable insight and experience researching and modeling the growing connection between climate change and farm loan risk. She also developed research and presentations in topics that include predator-prey ecological relationships and water pollution in San Antonio, Texas using programming languages such as R, MATLAB, and Python. Rachel was also active in her community through volunteering at the local Food Bank, serving on the University’s sustainability committee, and assisting with community events as a captain of the women’s soccer team. Rachel is currently enrolled in Rice University’s Professional Science Master’s program in Environmental Analysis. She hopes to build upon her data literacy and knowledge of environmental remediation and restoration to foster a future of environmental consulting with a focus in pollution remediation and climate change that is based in equitable, data-based decision making for the betterment of society.
