Hello Fellow Ecommerce Classmates!

This is my third class on my way to a Masters in International Marketing. I've been out of school for quite some time making my way in the business world. I just started a new job as Director, Technical Marketing for Quest Diagnostics. Some of you may be familiar with this laboratory company if you ever had a blood test done through your doctor's office.

I have a science/medical technology background and started out with a hospital laboratory career 23 years ago. I knew that I was very interested in the business side and that the career path in the laboratory was basically non-existent. So after 8 years, I left to move to a small diagnostic manufacturing company. I moved to progressively bigger companies, This led to my last role as Worldwide Director of Marketing with Ortho Clnical Diagnostics, a Johnson and Johnson company also in the laboratory diagnostics field.

I almost started my Masters many times but "work" always got in the way. I'm really hoping I can successfully manage on-boarding with a new job and the work load at BU. As all of you who try to balance full time work, school and families know, this is a tough road for the next two years.

Steady steps forward will get us to the end goal!
