Manufacturing Can Change the World

When I come into work, I am energized, focused, and motivated to do better because BD is such a wonderful place. I feel supported, trusted, and empowered to do my job. And I know that my leaders will help me if I need it. They are also really good about recognizing you for a job well done.

From ICU Nurse to Nurse Educator

Many times, I am 50% an educator and 50% a positive role model for our customers. The reason is that hospitals and the nursing profession overall are going through a massive amount of change. So when we launch a new solution, we have to help them embrace the change because they have so much coming at them already.

A love for Business and Science led to BD

Back at university, I was in the pre-med program. Every time I’d speak with my friend who is a doctor, he would share how difficult it was to get the right products to treat his patients and provide them a full solution. He helped me understand there were other roles that could still have a positive impact on patients.

Don’t Be Afraid to Try New Things
