BMS’ Kasia Stusinska discusses the importance of embracing the unknown, to further your career.
“Over the years, I’ve developed an understanding of how software, equipment, and people come together in a modern biopharma environment”, said Kasia Stusinska, a senior automation engineer for the digital plant at Bristol Myers Squibb Cruiserath Biologics.
She added, “I started my career through the BMS Graduate Programme in the process engineering department, where I learned about the manufacturing process of the molecules we make on site. It felt like the most natural career path for me as a chemical and bioprocess engineer.”
For Stusinska, rotating across multiple departments was an ideal opportunity to engage with elements of the organisation that she may otherwise not have had any knowledge of.
She said, “As a graduate, the chance to explore different roles was especially attractive. On the programme, I rotated through different departments every nine months. During that time, I moved into automation, which is closely connected to process engineering.
