What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values quality and continuous improvement, where I can lead initiatives and foster a culture of excellence.

I am a dedicated and results-driven Quality Assurance professional with over 8 years of experience in manufacturing and industrial environments, particularly in FMCG and textiles. My expertise lies in maintaining Quality Management Systems (QMS), executing internal audits, and leading corrective and preventative actions. I am proficient in ISO 9001:2015 standards and have a strong background in documentation control and cross-functional collaboration to uphold product quality and compliance.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Quality Assurance Officer at Inno Textile, where I maintained and updated QMS in line with ISO and customer requirements. I have also served as a Quality Team Leader at British American Tobacco, leading a team of over 10 QA analysts to ensure compliance with AQL and GMP standards. My commitment to quality is reflected in my ability to conduct thorough root cause analyses and implement effective corrective actions, as well as my dedication to continuous improvement through training and operational excellence.
