What is your name and position? How long have you been in this role? 

Kimberly Sheehy, Global Scientific & Regulatory Affairs Program Manager, Packaging, Mars Wrigley. I recently joined Mars in the spring, but have been working in the food packaging regulatory space for about 10 years. 

How did you get into the packaging/processing industry and what attracted you to it? 

I actually kind of stumbled into it. After obtaining my Master’s in biochemistry, I worked in a research laboratory and quickly realized that it was not my passion. I took a leap in joining a Chemical Safety and Food Contact Regulatory consulting group and appreciated that I could use my chemistry background to follow a different path. The complexity and evolution of the regulations provides diverse challenges that allow me to continuously learn. 

What are some of the challenges that you have faced as a female in a male-dominated industry?
