What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead HACCP and audit readiness efforts, improve product safety through data-driven corrective actions, mentor teams, and drive continuous improvement in a collaborative, compliance-focused environment.

I am a detail-oriented QHSE Specialist with 3+ years' hands-on experience across retail, manufacturing, and catering environments, skilled in HACCP implementation, BRC internal auditing, allergen management, root-cause analysis, microbiology, and GMP. I have driven measurable improvements including a 28% reduction in minor non-conformances across 120+ SKUs, closure of 95% of product complaints within SLA, and a 40% reduction in repeat issues through corrective actions.

I bring practical audit experience supporting third-party BRC assessments, supplier audits, SOP development for allergen control and cleaning verification, and traceability/recall exercises that reduced trace-back time by 30%. I am committed to continuous improvement, staff coaching, and applying data-driven investigations to reduce environmental positives and raise first-pass quality.
