Occupation: Physics teacher
Biography: When I first entered Cortland in 1975, I had
no intentions of becoming a teacher. My advisor, Dr. Eugene Waldbauer, talked me
into getting certified "just as a backup". As luck would have it, it's
the only thing I have done since. I taught Biology for 1 year at Pine Bush High
School, Pine Bush, NY. I then decided to come back upstate and taught a variety
of science classes at South New Berlin Central School, South New Berlin, NY. By
then it was time to get my Masters out of the way so I took a year's leave of
absence and returned to SUNY Oneonta to get an M.S. in Secondary Science
Education. At the same time, I completed the coursework to get permanently
certified in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I then got a job teaching Physics
at Sherburne-Earlville High School, Sherburne, NY. I took 5 years off to have my
2 children, then returned to the same Physics teaching position that I left. I
still love teaching. The students are the best part of my job. I am now
Department Chairperson in a wonderful science department of 10 teachers.

Occupation: Senior Director, Scientific Affairs at Hanford Pharmaceuticals in Syracuse, NY
Biography: I started out after college as a Water Treatment Plant Operator at Bolton Point WTP in Ithaca. I found the job through the
Biology Department at Cortland. In my 3 years there, I learned everything from laboratory testing and management to fixing
water main breaks. We then relocated to Syracuse and I worked in an endocrine research lab at Syracuse University. I went
from measuring in millions of gallons to microliters (just a few decimal places). From SU, I went to Upstate Medical Center's
Infectious Disease Section in research for 3 years until the grant money ran out and I went to Hanford as a Microbiologist. In
my 16 years there, I have been lucky enough to work my way up to the position I have now. The diverse education I received
at Cortland has been a real asset in my career and in my life.
