I wanted to be a problem solver and I enjoyed chemistry. My favorite parts of my internships were the opportunities I had to make things safer and keep things running smoothly, but I got bored doing the same things in the same place every day. A Rose-Hulman alumnus came to campus to interview for this position, and he explained that he loved the opportunity to experience a wide variety of industries. I realized this job would give me the variety I needed to stay interested while letting me use my technical knowledge and problem-solving skills.

I get to see something new every day and travel frequently. I visited eight new states in my first few months on the job. I’ve surveyed power plants, pet food manufacturers, metalworking shops, pharmaceutical plants, warehouses, semiconductor facilities, and several other manufacturing environments. When I’m not travelling, I have the flexibility to work from home and set my own hours.
