Jennifer's Story
Life
Got my B.S. in '97 (U of I - MetEng) and went to work for LTV Steel in East Chicago, IN. In July of '98, married Scott McMillan, who I met at my on-campus job in college. In December 2001, LTV went under, so I got to be on "vacation" for a few months. Worked as a QC Engineer at Smalley Steel Ring Company in Lake Zurich, IL from 3/02-6/03. Scott got his PhD in ChemEng at Northwestern in June '03, and got a job with Intel in Hillsboro, OR (near Portland). While there, we bought our first house and got a dog - a Harrier we named Abby. Oregon turned out to be not quite as good as we'd hoped, but fortunately Scott got a transfer to a small Intel office in Chanpaign, IL. We bought a house in our old stomping grounds of Urbana in November 2004, and have been busy putting
down roots ever since. I joined Alloy Engineering & Casting in September 2005 filling dual roles as both the Quality Manager and the Plant Metallurgist. So far, so good with both of our Champaign jobs. Up next: some travel, and then thinking about starting a family.

in 1988 and became Crete-Monee Jr. High in my second year there.
Attended Crete-Monee High School from 1989-1990 but was accepted to the Illinois Math & Science Academy (IMSA) for my Soph-Sr years.
Attended IMSA in Aurora, IL from 1990-1993, which I highly recommend to anyone who gets the chance.
After IMSA, went to UIUC and got my B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering in 1997.
College
Attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1993-1997, majoring in Metallurgical Engineering (go Illini!). Got an on-campus job with Residential Student Computing, where I met a great guy named Scott McMillan.
While not working or studying, I took part in many activities - bowled on the Illini women's Bowling Team, was a sometime active member of SWE (Society of Women Engineers), leadoff hitter on 3 intermural champion 12" softball teams, and achieved the rank of blue belt in the Korean martial art Kuk Sool Won.
Moved out of the dorms my junior year and got an apartment with a couple of friends from high school - Rachael VanBrunt and Carol Shih.
Startes dating Scott McMillan in November of '95, and we were engaged in May '97. Graduated that same month with my B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering.
