Alana Hattenstein
Alana Hattenstein is studying chemical engineering at Auburn University with a specialization in pulp and paper. She completed her third term of a co-op at International Paper in Pensacola, FL. She has worked in various departments including Manufacturing Excellence, Quality, Finished Products, Data Analytics, Fibers, and Power. She is passionate about pursuing a career in pulp and paper due to her experience as a co-op. She is eager to continue diving into the industry when she graduates in May of 2026 and is hoping for a long-lasting career. Alana thanks the TAPPI Paper and Board Division for helping fund her academic experience as she pursues her dream.
