Alumni success stories

I wanted to reach my full potential and take control of the direction my career was heading.
Tanesha Norris, Class of 2015
Director/Project Leader, Roche Diagnostics

Tanesha Norris’s career had hit the ceiling and there were no more opportunities for her skill level as a Scientist II and interim program manager. Tanesha was promoted to project manager by her employer upon graduation from the M.S. in Biotech program. After serving in that position for less than a year, she decided to apply for a more challenging role that had more of a business focus. During the interview, she was asked to create a presentation on managing without authority, which she remembered discussing in one of her M.S. in Biotechnology courses. Ultimately, Tanesha was offered the job, which she accepted along with a significant pay raise from her previous role.

I wanted a program that understood what a career in the biotech industry looked like.
Kenyon Koeper, Class of 2019
Associate Director, Project Management, Sarepta Therapeutics

Although he’d spent 20 years working in the biotechnology industry, Kenyon Koeper felt it was only the beginning of his professional career. He’d worked his way up to a senior project manager role at PPD in Madison but knew his upward momentum would soon come to an end. Weeks before completing his degree — less than two years after he began the program — Koeper landed his dream job with Sarepta Therapeutics as an associate director for project management.
