I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry since 1995. I was hired at Merck Pharmaceuticals in Wilson NC where I began working on the production lines as an operator. After a year, I moved to a job in the warehouse. I worked in the warehouse for 8 years but before that 8 years was up, I made the decision to go back to school for an Engineering degree. My educational journey began in 1998. As I worked 3rd shift and went to school part time, it took me 5 yrs to obtain my AAS in Mechanical Engineering. I continued to work on 3rd shift and after 8 yrs in the warehouse, I moved back to production. I continued to work on 3rd shift until 2012, which gave me a total of 16 yrs on 3rd shift. I then decided that it was time to move to 1st shift, so I made that move and continued to work in production. I applied for jobs with no luck. I finally went to the director over Engineering and ask what I needed to do to become a part of his team. His response was, you need a 4 yr degree. So again, in the Fall of 2014, I made that move again and went back to school. I continued to network with co-workers to let them know what my plan was and what I wanted to do. Again, 5 yrs later on Dec 13th 2019, I finally graduated with a BS in Industrial Engineering. I went back to the Director once more and told him that I had gotten my BS. He advised me to apply for some jobs. In July of 2020, I was finally offered a job as a Engineering Specialists (Change Control). It took a lot of work and many years, but I finally reached my goal!!
