CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Quality Assurance Manager with hands-on experience at a BRC-accredited food processing facility, overseeing HACCP programs and regulatory compliance. I lead daily QA activities, mentor QC technicians, and maintain rigorous documentation to support audits and inspections.
My background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Sciences and multiple food-safety certifications such as BRCGS Issue 9 and HACCP levels I and II, which reinforce my technical understanding of food-safety systems and standards. I apply process optimization and data management to drive measurable quality improvements.
Earlier roles as a Residence Assistant/Director and Customer Service Representative strengthened my leadership, communication, and conflict-resolution skills. I bring a people-focused approach to building inclusive teams and resolving complex operational challenges.
I am committed to maintaining compliance with evolving legislation and customer requirements while fostering continuous improvement and operational excellence in quality systems.
