I have had a passion for the beverage industry ever since I discovered that my father was once an engineer for the famous brewing company MillerCoors. During my first semester at Michigan State University, I was asked what I wanted to do after graduation. I answered that I wanted to work in the alcoholic beverage industry, more specifically, MillerCoors. Now that graduation is approaching, I can honestly say that I would give the exact same answer.

In addition to pursuing my degree in Packaging, I am also in the process of completing a minor in Beverage Science & Technology. This minor has taught me about many different processes within the alcoholic beverage industry and has been an incredible learning experience.

I have also been fortunate enough to intern at Campbell Soup Company where I worked extensively on their V8 juice line. I gained invaluable knowledge on the processes and packaging of beverages. I worked closely with packaging suppliers in order to dive deep into closure technology for beverages. The thorough understanding of beverage technology I gained at Campbell's will be a great head start for me as I begin my career as a packaging professional.
