California Natural Resources Agency
Rae is currently a Science and Technology Policy Fellow with the California Council on Science and Technology. In her fellowship, she works with the Monitoring and Stewardship Unit at the California Natural Resources Agency to help track and assess the outcomes of natural resources projects that have been funded through state-issued bonds. Rae recently received a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Washington, where she worked as a bioanalytical chemist developing new scientific instruments to monitor the structure of proteins involved in chronic diseases like cataracts.
Rae believes that NorCal SETAC provides crucial opportunities for people in academia, industry, policy and regulation to discuss shared issues and interests. It is also a valuable networking opportunity for new toxicologists and chemists to explore and find meaningful jobs in the field. Previously, Rae worked as the president of Inclusion in Chemical Sciences and the treasurer of Out in STEM at the University of Washington to promote inclusivity and diversity within STEM academia. As a director, Rae plans to work to increase the visibility of NorCal SETAC and promote career development opportunities for members, especially among groups that have previously been underserved by the organization.
