My name is Luuvan Hoang and I am honored to be a recipient of the ISBT Emeritus Scholarship. I am currently in my first year of my Master's in Food Science at Chapman University in Orange, CA. This scholarship will allow me to spend more time working on my research and help me achieve my goal of mastering my school's Microthermics Unit.

I'm really excited about a career in the beverage industry. My first experience was at an R&D internship at Starbucks. Even though I was assigned to a different department, I was drawn to the CPG team. From that time, I knew I wanted to work in CPG product development and commercialization. My dream is to run my own CPG beverage co-manufacturing business. But until then, I will learn what I can to be an expert in beverage design and processing.
