Game changers work at schülke in STEM

I have always been fascinated by natural science and especially chemistry as everything around us consists of chemical substances and chemical reactions. Therefore, I decided to study chemistry. My job in regulatory affairs now allows me to apply my scientific knowledge to real products. I also get to work closely with many different internal and external departments.

Due to the fact that schülke offers a variety of different products, I get to broaden my horizon and collaborate with colleagues from different departments. I think that at schülke there’s a department for every interest of every future colleague.

To young women who are interested in working in STEM I’d like to say: If it is your wish to have a career in science do not let contrary opinions of others stop you. Always do what suits you best!

I decided to pursue a career in STEM, because I was already passionate about science back in school. This interest deepened during my pharmacy studies, where I realized that I could use my profound knowledge of scientific topics to contribute to people's well-being.

At schülke I get to work with inspiring women, who proved to me that everyone can have a successful career in STEM. I’m involved in a variety of projects in the fields of science and technology, which enables me to acquire further knowledge on many scientific topics.

Because of my positive experience at work, I sincerely encourage young women to consider a career in a scientific or technical sector at schülke. STEM is such a diverse and dynamic field, which offers countless opportunities to evolve your interests and talents.

I discovered my passion for STEM-subjects during my last year of school: In biology class we conducted a project about how microorganisms contribute to the contamination of milk. During this class I had a sort of revelation: I just knew that I wanted to do this kind of research for a living.

I realized later that the world of STEM is quite vast at schülke. On the same day I deal with matters of chemistry, engineering techniques and microbiology. Though I am specialized in a particular field of science, I have already learned a lot from my colleagues who work in different departments.

I would like to specifically encourage young women who want to study a STEM-subject. It’s not always easy. There will be situations in which you are the only woman in the room. However, you are the ones who can change that. At the end of the day, you can even improve the research of companies like schülke, because I believe that a diverse team is always an advantage.
