Back to All Data and Statistical Analysis, Mathematics Spotlights

I graduated St. Michael’s College in 2022 with a major in Chemistry and a minor Mathematics. Shortly after graduating, I started a position as a Lab Technician at the University of Connecticut, where I assisted managing and preparing equipment and reagents for undergraduate chemistry labs. In this position, I was able to utilize hands on skills I developed in a laboratory setting.

About 8 months later, I left UCONN and started a new position as an Analytical and Stability Associate Scientist at a Vermont-based supplement company called New Chapter. Here in my current role, I perform tasks such as managing stability studies to confirm product shelf life, data trending for nutrient profiles over the course of the studies, mathematical modeling of stability data, managing several spreadsheets tracking important qualitative and quantitative data, as well as various statistical analyses for different types of data sets.

Being in this role has been pretty great so far: I have been able to foster my knowledge and passion for mathematics, data analysis and statistics, as well as work in a field that I enjoy. My time at St. Michael’s College prepared me to tackle a career such as this, as the combination of the Chemistry and Mathematics background set me up as a well-qualified candidate for this role. Big thank you to everyone in the Chemistry and Mathematics departments at St. Mike’s!
