Stephanie joins us today to share with us what it's like being an educator. Not only will Stephanie share her experience, but Dave and Malissa will as well.
Stephanie Cochrane, MS, MLS(ASCP) CM is a lecturer in the undergraduate medical laboratory science program at Rutgers University School of Health Professions where she primarily teaches Hematology I and II. Her research interests include active learning and implementing evidence-informed teaching strategies into practice. At the time of this recording, Stephanie was pursuing a Doctor of Education in Curriculum and Instruction degree from Liberty University and she has since earned her doctoral degree. A long-term professional goal of hers is to become an instructional coach to assist novice and veteran educators in implementing evidence-based teaching strategies into practice. Her favorite quote by Brad Henry is “A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love for learning”. It is through her teaching methods and strategies that her love for learning is reflected and she hopes to instill this same passion for learning in her students.

Sarah Botelho graduated from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 2020. She started her career as a medical laboratory scientist in the blood bank for about one year before she started looking for other laboratory opportunities. Through her research, she discovered embryology and after touring an embryology laboratory, she realized this was how she wanted to further her career. She has been an embryologist for two years now and will graduate with her masters in Reproductive Clinical Science from Eastern Virginia Medical School in the spring of 2023. Overall, she continues to believe that her medical laboratory science degree has helped her in the embryology field and encourage any medical laboratory scientist who is interested in changing laboratories to check out embryology!
