The Workplace – 101:
Lessons Learned after College

College is an essential step toward preparing yourself for your chosen career path. It provides an enormous amount of information and knowledge that can be directly applied to a given field. Unfortunately, there is also a substantial amount that can only be learned through life experiences. I plan to discuss with you some of the experiences I have personally had along the way since my graduation from The College at Brockport in 2003, and how these experiences have shaped me and my career over time. My hope is that by sharing this with you, I can help make your transition from college to the workplace a little bit easier.

In addition to this discussion, I will also give a brief overview of my current work with organometallic chemistry at Praxair Inc., which involves research and development of novel precursors used by the semiconductor industry to develop countless electronic devices .
