I graduated from Collinsville High School. After graduation I attended Lewis and Clark Community College and got my degree in Process Technology. With that degree I had multiple internships at the National Corn Ethanol Research Center at site. From there I went to Millipore Sigma where I package biological buffers. Now that leads me to my current job of being a process operator making the largest amount of biological buffers in the world. This will be my 5th year with the company Millipore Sigma.
