It’s summertime, and for all of us at Alpine Supply Chain Solutions, that means it’s our chance to mentor the next generation of supply chain leaders. We’re excited to welcome four interns this summer: Rachel Lewis, Hunter Molnar, Maddie Solomon, and Kate Wesche. Our internship program is focused on helping college students and recent graduates build connections while they learn and grow. We hope their time with us empowers them not only to achieve their goals, but to discover what their many passions may be.
During their internship, Rachel, Hunter, Maddie, and Kate will connect with one another and build community within their teams, all while engaging with senior leadership around the company for guidance and mentorship. The supply chain world is always looking for new and innovative ways to solve problems, and we’re confident that these interns are going to teach us just as much as we teach them! Here’s a little more about our interns.
Rachel Lewis
Rachel has accumulated several years of internship experience throughout her four years at Northwestern University. In June she’ll graduate with a B.S. degree in Learning and Organizational Change, and a Business Institutions minor. She has experience in a variety of industries including Consulting, Fintech, and Healthcare. During these quarter-long roles, Rachel led marketing campaign strategies, contributed to change management initiatives for areas of potential operational improvement, and built innovative solutions around specific business needs. Throughout these internships, she found a passion for using data-driven analysis to improve processes and efficiency. And that’s not all! Rachel has even led the Northwestern Softball team to three consecutive NCAA post-season appearances, a huge feat!
Hunter Molnar
Hunter is an engineering student who is deeply immersed in environmental engineering, with a technical aptitude for problem-solving, and a passion for making a change in the world. He has experience in warehouse distribution centers, where he was responsible for monitoring overall team and individual employee performance, and compiling data into project reports for the supervisor. He was also tasked with communicating with all stakeholders, including upper management, team members, and customers. Currently enrolled at Ohio State University, Hunter relishes applying CAD and MatLab to real-world problems and designing never-seen-before solutions. In Hunter’s spare time, he enjoys Buckeye football games, weightlifting, and being active in his fraternity.
Kate Wesche
Kate recently graduated from Michigan State University (MSU), known for having the best-ranked undergraduate supply chain program in the nation, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Engineering and Supply Chain Management. She took classes to expand her knowledge in procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and demand forecasting and also worked on many projects using Excel, Tableau, and AutoCAD. She has experience working for a consumer goods/eCommerce company where she helped them start a private label and find high-quality suppliers. She likes to see her analysis help companies find ways to reduce costs by improving production setup, eliminating the production of excess units, and lowering unneeded inventory. In her free time, Kate enjoys traveling and spending time with her friends and family.
Welcome, interns! We’re so excited to have you on board.
