Hello, I’m participating in the #YoungScientistNetworking to share my career path. I am a first generation undergraduate, and come from a financially disadvantaged background. I am a cis, straight, white woman. So, despite financial adversity, I certainly had privilege.

For #YoungScientistNetworking, today I’m talking a bit about my career path - and I’ll tell you up front it’s a weird one. I don’t do anything like what I thought I’d do when I started this, and I might do something wholly different in six months. On purpose.

As part of #YoungScientistNetworking, I'm sharing my career path starting from undergrad at the Univ. of Wisconsin Madison. I was studying Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, and I didn't know what I wanted to do for a career; I had only selected CHEN bc I enjoyed it (1/6)

While my career path may appear to be a "random walk" rather than a defined flow chart, I found EXACTLY where I'm meant to be! My advice to you is to network, ask questions, try new things & volunteer. Find your life's purpose, and it may or may not be career-related!

. Prior to that, I associated marketing with advertising and sales. But marketing is much more than that, it's the process of creating the best products and services for customers. I was so excited to have found a discipline that fit my interests & helped advance science.
