What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles in data evaluation, content review or quality rating that leverage scientific rigor, allow growth, and value clear processes and collaboration.

I am a chemist with a solid academic foundation and hands-on experience in quality assurance within the dairy industry. I led QA initiatives, supervised production and packaging teams, and conducted chemical and microbiological analyses to ensure food safety and regulatory compliance.

At LA Farm S.A. I managed raw material inspections, process monitoring and order fulfillment while training staff and promoting operational efficiency. I also performed water quality testing and laboratory management at a municipal utility.

My technical toolkit includes data evaluation and quality rating, ECDL-level digital literacy, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace and common remote collaboration tools (Zoom, Slack, Trello). I combine attention to detail with strong problem-solving and multitasking ability.

I am seeking remote roles in data evaluation, content review or quality rating where I can apply scientific rigor, organizational skills and curiosity to help teams improve processes and deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes.
