NAME: <\/strong>Deborah \u201cDebbie\u201d Cordova<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YEARS at CDFA:<\/strong> 23 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROGRAM: <\/strong>Research & Development, Center for Analytical Chemistry <\/p>\n\n\n\n

POSITION TITLE:<\/strong> Senior Environmental Scientist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USUAL DAILY ACTIVITIES ON THE JOB?<\/strong> You\u2019ll either find me in the lab working on some samples or helping others with theirs, at my desk writing or researching about those samples, or in my boss\u2019s office or in meetings talking about those samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DO YOU WORK FOR THE CALIFORNIA FOOD SUPPLY?<\/strong> As part of the Research and Development team here at the Center for Analytical Chemistry (CAC), we work toward improving or developing methods that the CAC or other agencies will use to test chemicals in food, water and the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

THOUGHTS OF WORKING AT INSPECTION SERVICES?<\/strong> Although many people don\u2019t know what we do out here at the lab, I have a wonderful sense of pride in knowing that my colleagues and I are doing our part to help California and its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE?<\/strong> As the verse goes, \u201cWho of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?\u201d Therefore, I try not to worry too much about things, laugh when I can, and treat others with kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT YOU?<\/strong> I can think of song lyrics that will fit into almost any conversation. Don\u2019t ask me the title of the song or the artist, I just have random bits of songs in my head at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY?<\/strong> This is my home away from home. I\u2019ve made wonderful friends here<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
