As a Food Safety and Quality Coordinator, I have navigated the intricacies of managing QA/QC operations and work teams for diverse manufacturers and co-manufacturers. My oversight extended to the production of a wide array of products, including shrimp/clam-based tomato juices, fruit and pulps rim dips, hot sauces, apple pouches, and cakes/dairy products. A key achievement in this capacity was the implementation of a copackers' score indicator, a testament to my ability to establish robust quality systems and conduct comprehensive assessments, resulting in a transformative improvement.

Managing multiple brands, co-manufacturers, and serving as the Corporate Internal Auditor further illustrates my capacity for multifaceted responsibilities.

In roles such as Quality Lab Chief and Master Auditor, I have demonstrated my proficiency in overseeing critical aspects of the production process. My responsibilities ranged from managing ISO 22000 standards, GMPs, and HACCP to coordinating quality teams and spearheading audits under the FSSC 22000 Safety of the Process Standard.
