My job is to develop and run tests on the manufacturing processes in order to determine if the process is capable of producing medical devices within an allowable risk factor. A lot of the skills I use in my job are things I learned while in school at Messiah. Having a degree in physics prepared me to be able to analyze processes and approach problems from a computational standpoint. What I loved about attending Messiah was the smaller class sizes that let you get to know your professors and classmates. This made classes more engaging and gave a lot of opportunities to ask questions in class. During my time at Messiah I was also able to do independent research working on thin film growth and analyzing the materials characteristics. This allowed me to develop hands on research skills that help me in my current career.
