What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, emphasizes quality, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dynamic professional with 14 years of experience in Production and Quality Assurance (QA), specializing in working with regulatory agencies such as Health Canada and the USFDA. My career has been marked by a unique blend of skills that allow me to oversee materials inspection, schedule production, and manage weekly physical inventories effectively.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to implement cost-saving measures and lead cross-functional teams in the design, development, and launch of innovative solutions and processes. My role as a Production Supervisor at Aspire Bakeries has allowed me to lead a team of over 30 production staff, achieving a 98% on-time delivery rate while implementing lean manufacturing techniques that reduced waste by 30% and cut production costs by 15%.

In my previous positions, I have successfully obtained a Health Canada license and increased revenue through operational improvements. I am passionate about driving continuous improvement initiatives and ensuring compliance with GMPs and HACCP standards, which has led to successful audits with zero non-conformities. My commitment to quality and safety is reflected in my ability to develop and enforce SOPs while leading training programs that enhance workplace safety and operational efficiency.
