Ms. Russell came to Tom’s of Maine in January 2001 from the Vermont Herbal Extraction facility, where she worked for a year on extract optimization and scaled up improvements to a production level. She joined the product development team, with whom she worked for three years, primarily on herbal dietary supplements and products such as muscle balm, chest rubs, and bronchial syrups. After returning to her home in Scotland for two years, Ms. Russell returned to Maine in 2007 and has rejoined the product development team as Body Care Project Manager. Ms. Russell’s educational background includes a B.Sc. in Horticultural Management from University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland. She won a scholarship from the Institute of Horticulture to study in the U.S., where she then obtained an M.S. in Plant Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Her research for both the B.Sc. and the M.S. involved the study of medicinal plants, which has always been a passion of hers. Favorite Tom's products? "I do a lot of outdoor activities so my favorite product used to be the Muscle Balm to soothe sore muscles! Unfortunately it is now discontinued. My favorite toothpaste is the Whole Care Spearmint." |
