Her research interests include GIS, spatial data science, and spatial statistics, and she is now serving as an instructor of record for upper-level undergraduate GIS courses. She hopes to share her experience teaching GIS courses as well as research resources in the field of GIS with more graduate students.

Rachel Arney, University of Georgia

Rachel Arney is a third-year PhD student in the Integrative Conservation and Geography programs at the University of Georgia. She is excited to lead the GSAG Summer Series and provide fellow graduate students an opportunity to develop as young professionals in geography. She encourages all graduate students to attend the summer workshops, especially those who have been most impacted and isolated from the pandemic, as we will have an opportunity to create teaching portfolios and funding templates. As an Instructor of Record and Teaching Assistant herself, Rachel is uniquely prepared to guide graduate students in their academic development.
