Maren has exhibited a tireless work ethic for helping clients both inside and outside of EHS and Yale University. She has taken the lead on providing classroom and hands-on training for a record-setting number of researchers requiring BSL-2 enhanced work practices along with providing additional trainings for those handling SARS-CoV-2 clinical specimens. At the same time, Maren also assisted 125 PIs with their BSL-3 research applications for human pathogen and recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids research. Maren was able to accomplish these and countless other tasks all while performing her roles as Biosafety Supervisor and Co-Manager of the Safety Advisor Program and keeping a positive attitude. Her cheerfulness and optimism contribute to the moral of the department. Maren always shines a light in the darkness.
