What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level role in QA, sensory or production support at an FMCG or food innovation team where I can apply GMP/HACCP, data analysis, and documentation skills to drive product quality and process improvements.

I am a detail-oriented Food Science graduate with hands-on FMCG and corporate experience gained through internships and NYSC. I have supported quality assurance, sensory innovation, and production activities across multiple Nigerian food manufacturers.

I consistently deliver accurate documentation, structured reports, and data analysis to inform product development and compliance decisions; for example, I helped reduce process deviations by 15% and improved sensory report turnaround by ~20%.

I collaborate effectively across functions, apply GMP/HACCP principles, and seek an entry-level role where I can contribute analytical, organisational, and problem-solving skills to product quality and innovation teams.
