The Governor's Office of Economic Development has announced the appointment of Tamara Goetz as the state's new science adviser.

Goetz worked as director of Salt Lake Community College's biotechnology program, where she helped to create a one-year high school biotechnology program. She also directed the nationally recognized nonprofit company InnovaBio. This student-led company assists high school and college students with internship opportunities for life science companies.

Goetz also worked with the U.S. Department of Labor's Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development Initiative, which supports education and training for life sciences in Utah. She served on the Governor's State Advisory Council for science and technology as well as on the board of directors for The Leonardo.

Goetz was recognized by Utah Business magazine for both the "40 Under 40 Rising Stars" and "30 Women to Watch" categories.
