"I have had a long and satisfying career as a genetic counselor. I spent 18 years as a clinician, at Hackensack University Medical Center, and 15 years as the P...rogram Director of the Joan H Marks Graduate Program in Human Genetics at Sarah Lawrence College. The field of genetic counseling is expanding so rapidly, with new technological advances leading to many new job opportunities. I currently serve as a consultant in several arenas, and I feel honored to provide guidance and mentorship as a "wise old owl.” The two main areas of my participation are in graduate education, helping develop much-needed innovative genetic counseling training programs and project collaboration with the pioneering team of innovators at the health technology company Counsyl, Inc." - Caroline Lieber, MS, CGC

My day t...o day varies but my end goal is still the same: to give patients a voice and to distill complex genetic information to help patients in the management of their health or the health of their families." - Kenny Wong, MS, CGC
