She attended Clarkson University and received her B.S. in Management & Engineering. Ms. Majewski started her career as an International Sales Engineer for a manufacturing company that made single-stage steam turbines. While she was working she was lucky enough to travel to Europe for business to exciting places like Italy, Switzerland, England, UK, Spain, and Germany. She also furthered her education by completing the coursework for a M.S. in Engineering Management from Rensselaer Polytechnic University. Throughout her career, Ms. Majewski has continued to learn new industries and try new jobs. She has spent the last part of her career working in the IT industry in a couple of different companies. Her focus has been on Technical Training and Project Management. This will be Ms. Majewski's first year as a school teacher. She is excited to share her knowledge and experiences with her students and hopes to help those that want to pursue engineering jobs.
