Kelsey McKay
Welcome!
Originally hailing from Vermont, I relocated to North Carolina four years ago, driven by the opportunities offered in the biotechnology sector. I began working for bioMĂ©rieux as a contract employee and transitioned into a full-time position in February 2020.
I have a passion for learning, and I am excited to be a part of the Master of Microbial Biotechnology program at NC State University. I am particularly drawn to the MMB program for its distinctive fusion of business experience and science, a rare combination in academic offerings. While I have a strong affinity for hands-on laboratory work, I am looking for the opportunity to pivot my career towards the business side of the biotechnology industry.
Outside of my professional pursuits, I have a variety of hobbies mostly centered around the outdoors. Growing up in New England allowed me to foster a love of snowboarding and hiking. In the summer I enjoy spending weekends at the lake.
