Working for a World Without Cancer
Cancer has become personal for my family. One day I hope that the word cancer will be a thing of the past. I always tell people that joining the American Cancer Society was the best career move of my life. With that choice, I started being part of the solution.”
At ACS since 1997

Research Focus and Accomplishments
Starting at ACS 25 years ago, I was responsible for the configuration and installation of all research machines. The Research Department used the CDC Mainframe to run their SAS jobs. I played a role in switching from the CDC mainframe to the ACS Austin mainframe and then from the Austin mainframe to the PC/Windows Server environment.
I created and trained our Population Science staff to use the different Access databases for data collection from our Cancer Prevention Study participants.
