Prior to her veterinary medicine studies at the University of Pennsylvania, she had been a laboratory technician at Harvard, codeveloping Mueller–Hinton agar, a culture medium that is now commonly used to test bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics. She later practiced as a small animal veterinarian in Massachusetts, and then as a federal government inspector investigating disease outbreak in livestock for the Department of Agriculture."
