Carol was born and raised in Albany, New York. She attended Hartwick College, earning a Bachelor of Biology degree in addition to studies in Chemistry and Liberal Arts. Carol worked as an Associate Scientist for Hoffman LaRoche in Nutley for 27 years, retiring in 1998. In her career with Hoffman LaRoche, she worked with teams in the development of PCR testing for specific diseases as well as a diagnostic test to detect HIV and some carcinomas among many others. Carol’s studies were presented and published in many conferences and papers; she was very proud of her work.
