I picked Purdue because my sisters and grandpa went there. I loved every minute of being a Boilermaker and I love being an alumnus too! I was also a member of Alpha Chi Sigma fraternity!

My Purdue counselor Julie Mills pointed me in the direction of chemistry and food science! I learned that I really liked analytical chemistry. I was more of a math person than a memorizing person.

Julie is the reason I ended up in one of the three industries that interested me after college. I work in a Distillery in Kentucky thanks to her!

I loved my experience at Purdue University! I also loved the experience had with all the chemistry staff!
