Food Scientist at Power Brands Consulting.
The STEM Program helped me immensely with navigating college and the beginning of my career as well as giving me life-long friendships. I had access to tutors, other resources, and a community of friends and peers that made the journey of studying for a STEM degree much easier.
The tutors were a great resource because they had taken courses I was interesting in or needed to take so their understanding in the subject material was helping for my work but their mentorship for my overall major was a great guidance.
Although my degree is in molecular biology, I am currently a food scientist! I love experimenting with flavors and other ingredients to make a product that anyone can enjoy.
For biology, I would always aim for understand overall concepts more than details and this can help in becoming more creative when designing experiments! for food science, experimenting with wild ideas is what can lead to innovative products!
talk to professors!! advice from people in your field, especially if you dream of being in their position one day is always good to hear, even if you don't follow it.
don't be afraid to try different classes you're interesting in because you never know where following an interest can take you!
