Rachel McCarthy
Extension Support Specialist, School of Integrative Plant Science Horticulture Section
I am a skilled science communicator, with over a decade of experience working in higher education and extension, developing online and in-person learning programs. I am the Supervisory Leadership certificate program coordinator and have a joint appointment with the School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell as a Training and Education Program Manager where I have developed and implemented training and outreach programs for two national invasive species early detection networks. I developed the Sentinel Plant Network’s train-the-trainer curriculum, including educator presentations, supporting print resources, eLearning modules, and training videos to support asynchronous learning. I also developed a variety of First Detector resources and training materials for traditional and online learning. Previously I led the landscape development program at Alfred State College, including instruction, program assessment, and development. I earned my BS and MPS from Cornell University in Landscape Architecture and Ornamental Horticulture.
