Edana began her career in research working in the Agricultural Genetic Research industry when she was offered a job at an environmental lab that worked on evaluating agricultural pesticides and their impact on the environment. She quickly worked her way up through the company and eventually moved onto an environmental engineering firm to help them design and open their own analytical laboratory.
