Kirti Joshi
@kirtijoshi
Food Science and Technology graduate focused on food safety, quality control, and data-driven sensory testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Food Science and Technology graduate with a strong foundation in food and nutritional science, including food safety and quality, applied chemistry, microbiology, and product development. Through coursework and hands-on experience, I build quality systems mindset around HACCP, CCPs, and consistent sensory and lab testing.
In my ALES mini-internship at Inovata Foods, I gained experience in conducting sensory evaluations and microbial testing, and I collaborated with cross-functional teams across production, R&D, and logistics to implement quality and safety measures throughout the supply chain. I also interacted with regulatory authorities and successfully navigated regulatory inspections.
At Aliya Foods, I job-shadowed a Quality Assurance/Quality Control Technician while learning line checks, raw material and finished product inspection, and sampling across processing stages. I also bring leadership and communication strength from mentoring and training as a Tim Hortons Supervisor, paired with self-starter problem solving, strong organization, and the ability to work independently while supporting a team.
