Margo Hunt
Margo received a BA in botany major from Drew University, followed by a MS degree in microbiology from Pennsylvania State University. Merck, Sharpe & Dohme employed her as a research soil microbiologist and, while working full-time, she completed her PhD in ecology from Rutgers University.
She changed careers by teaching as an adjunct professor at a variety of colleges and universities in New York and New Jersey. The courses she taught ranged from general biology, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, clinical microbiology, and ecology.
A third career change came as she started to work for the US Environmental Protection Agency, first in Region 2 as a microbiologist and a quality assurance officer reviewing QA Project Plans, certifying state drinking water microbiology laboratories, inspecting waste water microbiology and bioassay testing labs, and setting up and running temporary microbiology laboratories in the Virgin Islands during summer field sampling runs and during hurricane disaster duty. After ten years, she transferred to Headquarters in Washington DC to work with the Quality Staff and became involved with the Quality System and laboratory assessments programs and TNI, and conducted training in quality assurance. She retired in 2008.
As a volunteer she has worked for the past 12 years as the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Waters Part 9000 (Microbiology) Coordinator. She sets up workgroups and is responsible for reviewing and revising the information and sending it out for consensus voting.
