Paris
Manufacturing Associate
PathSensors
Graduated 2018
Paris, a single, 19-year old mother, completed the BioSTART to Lab Associates Training in 2018 along with an internship at PathSensors, a leading biotechnology and environmental testing company. During her internship, BTI received reports that Paris remained focused, showed initiative, was eager to learn and was a true team player.
Near the end of her internship, she let the CEO know that she wanted to stay on with the company permanently. He was thrilled, and he coached her on how to negotiate her first employment contract. The company offered her $14.00 per hour plus full benefits. After a four-month temporary contract, Paris was then promoted as a permanent hire as a Manufacturing Lab Technician.
In her new role, she supervises interns and new staff members. As noted by the human resources manager, “Paris is extremely energetic and brings such positive energy to the workplace for the entire team.”
Paris attributes her success to BTI’s training, support and guidance. Paris has met her personal goals and is launching a career with a life full of potential, financial stability and economic mobility.
