Ms. Gordon received her M.S. in genetic counseling from the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health in 2001 and joined the Research Center for Genetic Medicine at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC where she conducted research on the impact of non- disease genetic testing on self-concept and provided genetic counseling to patients in the Muscular Dystrophy Association clinic and the neurogenetics clinic. In 2006 Ms. Gordon moved to the University of Medicine School of Medicine where she was involved in research studies on Huntington’s disease and Tay Sachs disease and where she provided genetic counseling services to the hereditary cancer clinic, the Huntington’s disease clinic and the adult genetics clinic. Ms. Gordon joined the Coriell Institute in the summer of 2008.

Ms. Gordon is an active member of the National Society of Genetic Counselors and has served in numerous leadership positions within the genetic counseling community having served as the chair of the Ethics Subcommittee of the National Society of Genetic Counselors from 2004-2005, and most recently serving on the Board of Directors for the American Board of Genetic Counseling and the Governor’s Advisory Council on Genetic Counseling for the State of New Jersey.
