Rebecca then pursued her interest in Ocean-Climate Solutions as a Field Research Assistant with the company Vesta, PBC. After completing the contract role, Rebecca held a Research Assistant position at The Columbia University Earth Institute and worked part-time in 2024 as the Community Outreach Coordinator for the South Fork Natural History Museum and Nature Center (SOFO).
