Nell Baugh Scholarship Highlight

I was awarded the Nell Baugh International Scholarship Award in 2018, during Junior year of college at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. At UT, I majored in Supply Chain Management where my interest in transportation & logistics began.
While I am forever grateful for the monetary benefits of the scholarship - the connections, industry knowledge, & opportunities gained from the MWTC have been priceless. I was honored to interview with a few members of the MWTC and write an essay during the application process.
I graduated from UT in 2019 and began working at Wal-Mart Supply Chain in Arkansas until this past January. I recently accepted a role with ContainerPort Group within a new Memphis branch specializing in Drayage Solutions. During my short time in the Memphis logistics industry, I have already experienced the extensive reach of the MWTC!
Thank you!
