15: Dr. Terri Mattila, Professor/Lab Manager +

“I tend to have a good attitude - I’m not going to do anything I don’t want to do, and that makes my jobs easier.” Terri Mattila’s got range. How many Biology PhDs do you know who also manage a coffee shop, care for other people’s pets, set up labs for college students, and genuinely enjoy each day? At 61 years old, Terri is a model of doing what you love and loving what you do - while refusing to get stuck in a bad situation.
