Rachel Afshari

Rachel is a junior Biology major who will be facilitating a cluster in Southwest South this semester. She has always been interested in the environment, but since arriving at UMass, the big environmental issues we are going to be facing have really been brought to her attention. She firmly believes that sustainable living is something we need to be educated on and help to educate others about.

Rachel says, “I would love to see more people involved in Eco-Rep and actively participating in making this campus more sustainable”. One thing she’d like to see in the future is for more money to be invested in implementing a clean energy source around the world. Outside of Eco-Rep, Rachel would love to live on a tropical island someday and her favorite color is green!
