Emerging Engineers: Project Development with Rachel Harris

Join the Libraries for a conversation with Rachel Harris. Rachel is an NC State alum who graduated in 2022 with a degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering and a minor in Vocal Performance. She currently works as a Project Controls Consultant at Cushman & Wakefield, where she develops and analyzes integrated project schedules, assesses schedule risk and supports project teams using tools like Primavera P6 and MS Project. In her role, she partners cross-functionally to improve schedule accuracy, reporting and overall project execution in the life sciences industry. 

In addition to being an engineer, Rachel is a singer and the founder of Rachel Caroline Music. This past year, she released her first music video, performed for the Carolina Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes, and regularly leads worship at her church. Through her story, she encourages students to pursue careers aligned with their degrees while continuing to grow the creative passions that make them who they are, showing that technical skills and artistic purpose can coexist.

There will be time for questions after the talk, and snacks will be provided. 

The Emerging Engineers series is a combination of speaker events and workshops intended to create a sense of belonging and community for those with an interest in engineering.
