"When I first started, I was afraid of making mistakes – but my manager was always optimistic and positive, encouraging me not to fear mistakes, but to learn from them."

I love my job, not least for the many things it has taught me about the world. In my time at Corning, I have had many opportunities to work with highly professional colleagues from around the globe. The diversity of employees here has helped me to cultivate, understand and learn about different cultures and embrace differences!

I also really respect the way Corning operates, and treats its employees. When I first started, I was afraid of making mistakes – but my manager was always optimistic and positive, encouraging me not to fear mistakes, but to learn from them.

That philosophy has enabled me to gain valuable knowledge, to grow and gather vital skills that I can keep for life. How lucky I am to have joined Corning at a young age. Working here has taught me everything from interpersonal skills to effective team leadership and management. I feel honored to be a part of this place.
