Rachel has a PhD in Human Geography from the University of Exeter, where her research focused on young people’s wellbeing during environmental education. She also has an MSc in Education for Sustainable Development and a BA in Education Studies.
Before joining GAP and UKSSN, Rachel worked on research projects exploring effective practice in Education for Sustainable Development and how to support young people’s wellbeing during outdoor learning.
