I make new cereal flavors at Post. Yes, I eat cereal every day and never get sick of it — here’s what my day looks like.

associate director of research and development at Post Consumer Brands in Lakeville, MinnesotaI started working for Kellogg Co. in August 2012 as a product-development scientist making new flavors of cookies and Pop-Tarts. In November 2015, I started my work at Post Consumer Brands as a product-development scientist creating flavors of ready-to-eat cereals.

The middle of the day is for product tastings, which usually take place between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Some days we have more tastings than on others. Most days, I like to eat a noncereal lunch, just to maintain a balanced diet. We typically work with an external research firm who helps us find people who match our target consumer for testing. The research firm maintains databases of consumers and their shopping habits. Participants are paid for their opinions.

We also experiment with seasonal items, like Halloween Fruity Pebbles and our summer Malt-O-Meal flavors: Key-lime pie, strawberry shortcake, and orange dreamsicle.While there are so many cereals I love to eat, I have two favorites: Oreo O's, because I learned so much developing that as a product, and Great Grains Raisins, Dates & Pecans. It has so many delicious ingredients mixed in and always makes me feel like I'm eating a fancy treat.
