Caroline Youngblood

My name is Caroline Youngblood, and I am a senior at North Carolina State University, pursuing a dual major in Paper Science and Chemical Engineering, with a minor in Business Administration. Since my freshman year, I have been actively involved with TAPPI, where I've had the privilege of holding two leadership positions in the NCSU student chapter. Last year, I served as Service Chair, organizing volunteer events, and this year I am honored to have been elected Treasurer. I have gained invaluable industry experience through TAPPI’s networking opportunities, which allowed me to complete three industry internships: two with Smurfit-WestRock and one with Procter & Gamble. I am deeply grateful to be selected for a TAPPI scholarship, which will significantly support me in achieving my academic and professional goals. Thank you for this generous recognition.
