Hi, I’m Rachel Korchinsky (she/her), a PhD candidate in Chemistry at Queen’s University, co-supervised by Dr. Philip Jessop and Dr. Michael Cunningham. I joined Q-ACS in 2024 as Social Media Director, later took on the Events Director role, and now have the opportunity to serve as Vice President. I’m excited to support our team, help organize meaningful events, and contribute to a welcoming and connected community.

​

Originally from Toronto, I’ve come to really enjoy Kingston, especially walking by the lake, exploring Market Square, trying new restaurants, practicing archery, and painting.

​

Outside of Q-ACS, I’m involved in outreach focused on sustainability, inclusivity, and science education. I’ve had the chance to design hands-on learning activities and give school presentations, which led to being named an ACS Sustainability Star in 2024. I now work as a Youth Outreach and Education Coordinator with CEC-REN and also volunteer as a My Green Lab Ambassador.

​

I’m looking forward to what we’ll accomplish together this year!
