I have a little bit of Native American blood. I found out that I am three-sixty-fourths Choctaw!
I’ve always been interested or involved in science in some form. When I first came to Berlin I wanted a bit of a break, but then when I went back to studies it reaffirmed my interest in science. After university, I stumbled into my first IT job, working on a piping network at the public water works. I enjoyed working there and saw firsthand the impact of digital operations within laboratories. However, I found the work environment was not ideal. I moved to Berlin because I loved the diversity, culture and the blend of ages, yet I found myself working with only older generations which weren’t as open to innovation or progressive ideas. I realized that I wanted to work for a company where innovation was at the forefront. I knew I had to look for a company that was IT-related but still science focused. I found the job ad for Labforward, applied and haven’t looked back since.
