Concord High School Graduate
Emily Wong, a 2014 graduate of Concord High School in Wilmington, Delaware, is a Manager of Medical Market Research at Johnson & Johnson. She began her career at the company as a Research and Development Scientist, specializing in antibody generation, before transitioning in 2025 into her current role within the Medical Affairs organization. Today, Emily is shaping a brand-new function at Johnson & Johnson, applying her scientific expertise to cross-functional strategy and medical insights.
Emily’s career pathway was shaped by her participation in the Technology Student Association (TSA), which she joined in 7th grade and continued through graduation. She served in several state officer positions and credits her mentors—Mr. Fitzgerald, Dr. Brown, and Mr. Medved—for challenging her to think differently and preparing her for leadership. TSA gave Emily early experiences in teamwork, communication, networking, and leadership that could not be replicated in a conventional classroom.
Emily went on to earn her B.S. in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Cell and Molecular Biology and Genetics from the University of Delaware in 2018. Her TSA experiences equipped her with the confidence to navigate professional conferences, lead meetings, and collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds. In her current role, Emily continues to draw daily on the skills she gained in TSA, from clear communication and problem-solving to leading teams and shaping new initiatives.
