“Rachel is a thoughtful and dynamic leader who is able to effectively empower those around her. I had the opportunity to work with Rachel for 3 years in our collegiate chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA). Whatever role she took on, Rachel went above and beyond what the role required of her. Rachel doesn’t settle for mediocrity; she always looks for new and creative ways of doing things. Rachel’s leadership is best exemplified during the 2016-2017 academic year when she was president of UT’s AMA chapter. As president, Rachel connected with each and every officer and VP to understand their goals for the organization. With keen understanding of what our organization’s members would want out of a marketing organization, Rachel was able to establish a unified vision among the team that helped all 20 officers execute their roles to their fullest extent. At the end of the year, through Rachel’s leadership, our organization grew from ~60 paid members to ~150 paid members, reached financial stability, implemented more effective communication strategies, hosted our first career fair and case competition, and offered more valuable events to students than ever before.”

She examined Yelp reviews by searching the word “coffee” included in reviews of establishments in Austin. The rating score, developed by Downs, was based on the number of stars awarded by Yelp reviewers, and the sentiment score came from comparing positive and negative words within the reviews."
