\\u201cEngineering is really about problem solving. Can you come up with a creative solution, and how do you work through it? My problems, on a day-to-day basis, are working with things like beans and corns and food processing equipment. But really, problem solving can be applied to anything. So I\\u2019m here to say that engineering is more than just planes and trains!\\u201d

Welcome to the seventh and final episode in Season 5 of the On the Job series on the Ali on the Run Show! We\'re closing out this season with a soup-er conversation celebrating women in STEM! Today, meet Jill Cardamone, a senior process engineer at Campbell\'s Soup Company. As a member of the Soup and Broth team in research and development, Jill acts as the middle man that takes what a food scientist creates in the kitchen and translates it to a massive scale. (She\'ll explain this process in excellent detail using my favorite Superhero Muffins as an example.) In her five years on the job at Campbell\'s, Jill has dealt with soup emergencies (really!), food supply shortages, clogged equipment during the testing processes, and more, all in search of finding the best solutions possible for when her soup makes its way to your home. Jill is a marathoner and Ironman triathlete who lives in Philadelphia, PA.
