Linda J CorteseDirector of STEM Professions Advising

As the Director of STEM Advising at F&M's Center for Career and Professional Development, I am responsible for providing career and professional development advice and guidance to our amazing STEM Community. I'm an F&M alum who majored in....not STEM! I graduated in 1990 with a double major in English and American Studies. I spent more than 25 years in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries with leadership roles in marketing, sales, research & development, compliance, business development, strategic planning, and corporate governance. I recently retired from pharma and biotech and am thrilled to be part of the F&M community in this new way at the Center for Career and Professional Development.
