Rachael Rosenstein
she/her
As the Watershed Manager for the Southern Basin, Rachael works to advance the goals of the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation. Rachael collaborates with local groups and a variety of other stakeholders to create, plan, & prioritize projects that will improve water quality and surrounding habitats in the Southern Basin. Additionally, she helps the Catawba Riverkeeper coordinate and implement current projects, such as the Swim Guide Program.
Rachael grew up in Connecticut and western Pennsylvania. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies from the University of Delaware and her Master of Sustainability Solutions from Arizona State University. For her Master’s thesis, she explored the linkages between sustainability solutions, community, and happiness, and the ways these could be communicated through photojournalism. Before joining the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation, Rachael worked as a NEPA Analyst at the Georgia Department of Transportation. Rachael’s love of nature and commitment to conservation has grown in each place she lived, from the forests of Pennsylvania to the vast Arizona desert landscapes to the biodiversity of Georgia – and soon to be the waters of North and South Carolina. In her free time, Rachael is an avid hiker, nature photographer, and birder.
