"I find inspiration in many people and things in my work. I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me has been my grandfather. He always had a smile on his face, no matter how hard he worked after a long day in the farm fields. He was well respected and always gave more than he received. I try to both work and live like he did every day of my life."

"My current supervisor has been such a positive influence on me over the last nine years. She has inspired a strong work ethic and a sense of being creative in a setting where creativity can be difficult to shine. I knew I was more than ready for the next move in my career, and that wasn't available with my current company, so I've discussed this opportunity at Regeneron with her, and she has written me a great reference letter."
