I was formally introduced to the field of Materials Science and Engineering when I was a senior in high school. At that point I knew it was the field that I wanted to spend my life working in. Studying Materials Science and Engineering in college provided numerous experience opportunities, whether that be conducting research, performing various tests, or traveling to conventions, competitions, and lectures. My job at Nike is amazing and fits perfectly with what I thought I wanted to be doing all along. Everything is hands-on and a great mix of cutting edge technology and thorough scientific experimentation. I am thankful to have a job which allows me to continue learning about materials and materials applications, something I look forward to each and every day.
