What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead FSMS and quality improvement initiatives, mentor teams, and drive compliance-driven, data-led improvements in a collaborative manufacturing environment.

I am a results-driven Quality Assurance professional with over 10 years' experience in food and feed manufacturing, focused on implementing ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP, and effective FSMS practices.

I have led cross-functional teams, managed internal and external audits, and driven continuous improvement initiatives that improved compliance and product consistency.

My hands-on experience spans QA operations in SAP, laboratory analysis, root cause analysis, CAPA implementation, and regulatory interactions including product registration and permit renewals.

I train and mentor staff on hygiene, safety, and quality systems, and I prioritize data-driven decision-making to reduce non-conformities and optimize quality KPIs.
