Dear Hiring Manager

I am a Food Science professional with 7+ years’ experience, after my bachelor’s degree. I obtained my BS from Food Science department majoring in Food Technology in 2011. I have since then worked in multiple industries and pursued my MS in Food Technology. After completing my MS, at 2015 I had the opportunity to move to the United States as a permanent resident and decided to take the opportunity for a second master’s degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This was a golden opportunity for me since UIUC is a highly accredited institution and houses well known academicians providing very strong technical background to the students and wide connections in the industry. My UIUC degree is a thesis free degree and emphasizes business and marketing aspects of Food Science (11 credits towards for business and marketing). This aspect of my degree further strengthens customer facing interactions as supporting sales team and understanding market trends.

A few professional highlights are:

Successful Quality Control Manager

FCINA 7 months intern working as a quality control and project manager leading all activities for Methods Update program for bringing the labs to ISO 17025 standards

Strong leadership skills and highly driven to deliver

Holding 2 master’s Degree, first one in Food Science majoring in Food technology; second one in Professional Science master’s Degree in food science and Human Nutrition, (Business and Marketing)

Ability to work with difficult people

Motivated, Creative, Energetic and Trustable

Skilled with project management

Great ability to prioritize tasks

Great knowledge about vitamins and supplement categories

In short, I have a very strong technical training and wealth of diversified experience in business, interfacing customers, and managing people. Furthermore, I would love to work for such an admirable company with high ethical fingerprint on the globe, and bring in all my training and experience, to contribute and grow more. Thank you so much for your valuable time and please let me know if I can help answer any questions you may have on my background.
