“My name is Georgette, and I’m a chemist at Adesis. I was born in Louisiana, and I did grad school at Texas A&M. I was there for about eight years.
I talked to a recruiter, and he said, “What do you think about moving to Delaware?” And I said, “Awesome, that’s great! Let’s try that out.” And so, I’ve been here since April of 2018.
Living here is great. We really like to go to historic New Castle and, you know, throw the ball with our dog, and take her for walks. One of the best things has been the seasons. We get to experience outside in all different weather. In the south, it’s very hot in the summer. You can have like 100 days of 100-degree weather. So, in the winter, you can just suit up and go out and play. In the summer, you can go to the beach, you can go out by the river, you can do lots of stuff like that.
My fiancé is a chemist as well. Luckily, he was able to come work at Adesis. But, if not, there were plenty of other opportunities for him here or even in Philly. We have a few people who commute. But being a chemist there’s lots of opportunities here.
There’s always something really cool and interesting going on.”
