You’ve completed your degree in chemistry, you’ve landed a great industry job, but now what?  How do you create a rewarding and successful career in Industry?  In this talk, I will share my career path, a personal reflection on my own career journey and the lessons I’ve learned along the way starting from my training as an Organic Chemist in graduate school to my current role as Sterile Drug Product Developer, with stops in Process Chemistry, siRNA Delivery and Medicinal Chemistry.  Highlights include how I’ve navigated a rapidly shifting organization and unplanned career moves, how applicable organic chemistry training is in orthogonal scientific roles, how lateral career movements have made me a better scientist and prepared me for my current role,  why I still proudly and truthfully self-identify as an organic chemist and ultimately how I’ve learned to take control of my career and find a role I love.
