Dr. Bader’s professional journey began in the medical field as a medical technologist from 1975 to 1986. During this time, she honed her skills in laboratory settings, where precision and attention to detail were paramount. Dr. Bader’s work at a blood bank in Alaska was also particularly impactful, as she played a crucial role in saving lives. These experiences underscored her commitment to health care and laid the foundation for her later endeavors.
In addition to her scientific pursuits, Dr. Bader has cultivated a successful career in music education and composition. She served as an adjunct faculty member of Southern Wesleyan University at the Columbia, South Carolina, campus from 2003 to 2006, sharing her expertise in music with students in the Adult and Graduate Studies program.
