Marie can help with student organization reimbursements or mailboxes and can schedule appointments with Sharon Brooks. She is also glad to answer questions and, when needed, direct students to the right office for help.

About Marie
A Connecticut native, Marie worked for several years at Bayer Pharmaceuticals, primarily as a meeting planner. Marie has arranged events ranging from one-day meetings for Bayer executives to conferences for post-docs from Europe to three-day national sales meetings involving thousands of invitees, which makes it easier for her to take student organization events in stride.
