Lily Cormier, '12

Lily Cormier, '12 (far right), spent Monday with upper school chemistry students to describe her work as a process engineer for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Lily earned a degree in chemical engineering from LSU before moving to the Pacific Northwest and beginning her career with TSMC. Her company makes more chips than any other company in the world to supply Apple devices, automobiles, and a range of other products and industries. One of 200 engineers at her fabrication plant in Washington, Lily oversees machines involved in the manufacturing. Speaking to students taught by her ESA classmate, Kat Faul Boustany, '12 (second from right), Lily explained the process from raw materials to finished product, and tied it into lessons both she, Kat, and the current students have learned in the same ESA chemistry classroom. Her advice: There are so many more jobs than the ones you currently know. You don't have to pick a career path in college. Study something that interests you, and it will translate to a job that interests you once you graduate. Thanks, Lily!
