I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Small-town girl. Big ambitions. It\u2019s a timeless tale, and Jada Neal is living it out one extra mile at a time.<\/p>\n

Through undergraduate research and leadership roles in multiple student organizations, the bioprocess engineering senior from the tiny town of Verbena has built a personal brand out of going above and beyond.<\/p>\n

This summer, \u201cbeyond\u201d meant an internship in Connecticut with consumer goods giant Unilever, which offered Neal a glimpse into her dream job \u2014 starting a skin care brand.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a true learning experience from start to finish and aligned with my long-term career plans,\u201d Neal said. \u201cI had the privilege of taking part in the research and development of new technology for hair care products and was able to present groundbreaking results.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t easy, but Neal said she wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n

I have a passion for making an impact, and I try to seize every opportunity and make the most of every connection,\u201d Neal said. \u201cHard work is rewarding and leaves no room for regrets, so I don\u2019t mind going the extra mile. That mentality comes from my upbringing, and it\u2019s been nurtured in college. Auburn has kept me challenged and provided a support network that sets me up to be a pioneer in any field.”<\/p>\n
