"I chose a career in agricultural research because I grew up in a farming family and wanted to put my academic skills to work to help better outcomes in the fields. This role at Bayer is so intriguing to me because I would get to take my work a bit further by working in the research and development of new products that make a difference in so many lives."

"I chose a career in biotechnology because I have always had a passion for science, and along with that passion came success. As you can see from my resume, I spent the early days of my career in the lab setting as a microbiologist. As I mastered that space, growing into the pharma industry was very exciting for me as I was then able to take my skills and help make a big difference in the health and well-being of others. Over the last five years, I've honed my skills and am ready to work for Bayer, the most reputable company in the country."
