For Rachel Goochey, pursuing an MPH in Environmental Health Sciences<\/a> at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Milwaukee\u2019s Zilber College of Public Health was a natural extension of her lifelong commitment to sustainability, active transportation, and climate action. She has always been passionate about reducing waste, supporting non-driving transportation options, and addressing the impacts of climate change. Through 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s program, she found a pathway to connect those interests not only to environmental sustainability, but to the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Rachel valued most during her MPH experience was the strong, personal support she received from faculty. She describes them as both knowledgeable and genuinely invested in her success\u2014encouraging her to explore her unique interests while helping her navigate the added challenges of completing graduate school while working and parenting. That mentorship, paired with the program\u2019s flexibility and relevance, helped her thrive academically and professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel\u2019s academic journey also led directly to her career. During her MPH program, she completed her summer field experience with the Wisconsin Bike Fed\u2014an opportunity that grew into a part-time paid position and, eventually, into her current full-time role as the organization\u2019s Pedestrian Safety Program Manager. \u201cIt\u2019s my dream job,\u201d she says. Today, she spends her time engaging with community members across Milwaukee County to understand their experiences walking in their neighborhoods, while advocating for infrastructure and policies that support safer streets for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Rachel is excited to continue growing in her role and helping to shape the future of pedestrian safety and active transportation in the region. Her long-term goal is to normalize non-driving options in Milwaukee County and to help the community meet physical activity goals through walking, rolling, and biking. Central to her vision is the belief that dignity should exist in every mode of transportation\u2014and that the built environment should reflect that value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For students or professionals considering a similar path, Rachel offers practical and empowering advice: don\u2019t wait for opportunities to come to you. If you\u2019re interested in an organization or program, reach out and start a conversation. Being proactive, while staying open to unexpected pathways, can unlock a wide range of meaningful career possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rachel\u2019s journey demonstrates how passion, perseverance, and purpose-driven training can come together to create real change\u2014one safer, healthier street at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
