I realized I wanted to work in STEM when I was in high school. I had amazing science and math teachers and loved learning in their classes. They always made topics fun and practical, and showed how they could be applied in every day life.
"Make your own luck." My high school chemistry teacher told me this on the last day of high school. It stayed with me all through university and now into my career, and helped me remain focused on my goals.
I would be looking for someone who is personable, enthusiastic, and willing to learn. Being able to speak confidently, not be afraid to ask questions.
My typical workday is in the office. I work daily with engineers, accountants, lawyers, and other groups within the Company.
