SCHOLARSHIP SUCCESS STORY

Throughout my internships within the beverage industry I have grown tremendously as a student of the business. My most recent internship with the Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated has propelled my interests into new fields such as lean manufacturing, maintenance, and quality. Concepts such as lean thinking, continuous improvement, and teamwork help make Consolidated a great place to work and truly drive a successful culture. Overall, Beverage packaging is the perfect combination of engineering, food science, and business that can help develop a young packaging engineer into a well-rounded professional. I am honored to receive the ISBT Scholarship and plan on applying it towards my last year at Clemson University. ISBT has provided me with an opportunity to continue my education and once again become an ambassador for both the organization and the industry.
