What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to food safety, food processing, sustainable food systems, and research-driven innovation that advances food security in Southern Africa.

I'm developing and maintaining retail product specifications for a UK-based food company through Victus Global, collaborating with NPD, Technical, and Quality teams from product trials through final approval.

My Food Science and Technology training spans food safety, microbiology, quality control, product development, and sustainable processing. I've also researched green-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles and gained practical experience in HACCP, meat processing, bulgur, and sorghum product development.
