About Me

I have held various technical leadership positions at DuPont for over 32 years in the areas of environmental sciences, global registration and regulatory affairs, toxicology, and analytical sciences working across agriculture, chemicals, materials, biologicals and pharmaceuticals.  I have taught graduate-level environmental risk assessment at UD and thoroughly enjoy teaching students the science and art of risk assessment.  In addition to Chemistry and Russian Language & Literature, I have studied Leadership through Financial Excellence at MIT Sloan business school and family therapy through EB Theological Seminary. I was known at DuPont for my team building, coaching and people engagement skills.  I am a certified professional coach, have worked with individuals across many different industries as a coach, and volunteer as a peer counselor at the William Way Community Center in Center City Philadelphia.
