2. What planned and unplanned events connected you to your industry and your first employer after Holy Cross?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a chemistry major and one of our instruments broke down. I went to the vendor to obtain the part we needed and met an alumni who offered me an internship in the laboratory from there I worked my senior year and two weeks before I graduated I started a full time position.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. How did you learn\/decide it was a good fit for you?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The company was based on chemistry and had a customer focus that was unmatched.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. What were you involved in when you were on campus? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Junior year I was working 3-4 nights in the laboratory at Waters. Senior year a spent every other week traveling across the USA lecturing for Waters. My professors were great as they allowed friends to tape the lectures and fed-ex them to the hotels I was staying at so I could keep up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a\u00a0 chemistry major and all of the positions I have held were related to knowledge of chemistry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The chemistry knowledge was critical, but as important was the life lessons that a Jesuit education instilled in me: loyalty; ethics; hard work.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. What advice do you have for students on campus today? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Follow your passion. I am 65 years old and never worked a day in my life. I go to work to have fun and make an impact. No amount of money is worth following a path that you do not enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
