00;00;00;00 - 00;00;04;10
Food has always been my passion
and for me, I knew I wanted

00;00;04;10 - 00;00;08;22
to find a career that could combine
my love for food with something else.

00;00;08;22 - 00;00;10;27
I really enjoyed, which was science.

00;00;10;27 - 00;00;15;02
My name is Aleana Chao and I graduated
from the Food Science program

00;00;15;02 - 00;00;15;28
at the University of Guelph.

00;00;15;28 - 00;00;19;06
The Co-op program prepared me 
really well for applying for jobs.

00;00;19;06 - 00;00;22;00
Once I graduated, I got a job 
at Chudleigh’s right away.

00;00;22;00 - 00;00;24;25
A lot of the skills that I gained 
through those work terms

00;00;24;25 - 00;00;27;09
are skills that I apply currently. 

00;00;27;09 - 00;00;31;02
as a Product Developer,
I come up with new product ideas from

00;00;31;02 - 00;00;36;08
new concepts to new formats and flavors,
create recipes and test them in the lab.

00;00;36;09 - 00;00;38;22
Run experiments
till we perfect the product.

00;00;38;22 - 00;00;43;13
Then we produce it
and sell in stores for consumers to buy.

00;00;43;13 - 00;00;47;19
Honestly, my favorite part of the job
is seeing the product that I worked on

00;00;47;19 - 00;00;48;26
on the shelves at the stores.

00;00;48;26 - 00;00;50;24
I'm just so happy
that I get to share that with the world.
