After a few months as a junior, I stepped into the consultant role and I'm really enjoying it. I get to help companies figure out how to work better - mapping processes, spotting what could run smoother, and learning how real operations actually fit together. It's a lot of problem-solving, and I like that.

Started out as a junior and got thrown into some pretty complex pharma projects. I learned a lot about how big organizations work (and sometimes don't). Most of my first months went into making sense of messy systems and helping people see the bigger picture.

Continued working on the small food biotech startup. I dealt with everything from setting up the lab and budgets to figuring out how we should organize ourselves. Learned a lot about how hard (and fun) it is to build something from scratch.

Co-founded a company. We were turning peas and salt into umami flavor through fermentation. I led product development, helped write a patent, got some soft funding, and did whatever else needed doing to keep things moving.
