>> So I went to UConn for my bachelors and my masters both in chemical engineering.
I liked UConn just because I am Connecticut born and raised.
You grow up watching the basketball games.
And that's something that you really love.
So UConn was one of my top schools that I wanted to go to.
As far as the engineering I knew I was good at math and science.
So I knew I wanted to get on the engineering side.
And then it appeals to the little boy in everyone where you get to play
with chemicals all the time and make things go poof.
So that's kind of what got me into chemical engineering.
And once I got to the classes I just enjoyed it.
When I finished with my bachelors there was really nothing that really appealed
to me very much as far as the job offers I got.
So I stayed for my masters.
I finished that up and then kind of just blanket sent out resumes everywhere
to different engineering companies in the area.
Henkel popped up.
I got an interview there for the rotational program.
To be honest I really didn't know much about the program.
But then once I learned more about it I thought it was a fantastic experience.
And looking back at it I've been at Henkel for a little over a year now, and it's,
it was the perfect place to start my career.
They're great to their employees.
You learn, you meet with everyone in the company.
I work directly with people that are on the executive board on a day-to-day basis.
So not many people [inaudible] glorified interns.
That's kind of what they look at us almost, but not many Prism Associates or new employees get
to meet with the higher ups like that in a company that's our size.
