What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in food quality or safety where I can apply and expand my QC and food-technology skills, drive compliance and process improvements, work collaboratively, and continue professional development.

I am a quality control specialist with a Diploma in Food Technology from the University of Johannesburg and hands-on experience in food production quality assurance. At Azteca Mexican Food Products I managed incoming material checks, hygiene and GMP inspections, microbiological and chemical testing coordination, retention sample control, near-miss investigations, and assisted with customer complaints while supporting the quality assurance manager on projects.

I bring strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication, plus practical skills in allergen control, lab sample handling, pest control oversight, and record-keeping. I consistently promote food safety, process improvements and team collaboration, and I am seeking opportunities where I can continue learning and contribute measurable improvements to product quality and compliance.
