Marcia Cantarella

President, Cantarella Consulting

Marcia Cantarella

I am:  optimistic, positive, and useful

What I do:  I advise colleges and other institutions about issues around student success and achievement, including careers.  My favorite thing about my job is seeing students succeed!

My "career path":  My "path" was non-traditional (like most people's).  I spent a dozen years in the corporate world and then went back to school to earn a doctorate (Ph.D.).  Since earning my doctorate, I've spent 20 years as a dean and academic administrator at institutions from New York University (NYU) to Princeton University to Hunter College.

My favorite things outside of work:  Entertaining, reading, needlework.  Mealtimes and traditions are also very important to me.

Tips for a successful girlfuture:

Don't be afraid to make changes until you find what you're good at and enjoy.
