Meet Marcia Faye!

Hello, QuarkNet members! I’m Marcia Faye, the new remote-based editor with the Fermilab Office of Education and Public Engagement. Ever since my grammar school days in Chicago, I’ve been drawn to science and communications, and have had an eclectic career. I worked for eight years in histology and electron microscopy labs at Christ Hospital, the University of Chicago, and Georgetown University, and then taught exercise classes at YMCAs in Washington, D.C., and San Diego, before I moved to Okinawa, Japan, where I headed communications and programming for the Camp Foster USO for three years. When I returned to the states, I wrote a weekly column for a Chicago neighborhood newspaper, and then held various positions in communications and development at The Avery Coonley School, Midwestern University, and Illinois Institute of Technology. My hobbies include acting, guitar learning/playing (Stevie Ray Vaughan is my guitar hero), and vegan cooking.
