Food Safety and Quality Assurance Specialist

ABOUT ME

As a graduate with a B.Sc (Hons) degree in Agriculture, majoring in Food Science and Technology, I have gained a strong foundation in the science and technology of food production, processing, preservation, and safety. During my coursework, I have gained knowledge in food microbiology, food chemistry, food processing and preservation techniques, and food quality assurance.

I have also completed a one-year internship in the water and bakery industries, where I had the opportunity to apply my theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. In the water industry, I worked with a team of engineers and technicians to ensure the quality of the water supply, conducting water sampling, testing, and analysis. In the bakery industry, I was involved in the production process, from raw material sourcing to product packaging. I also gained experience in quality control, product development, and marketing.

Through these experiences, I have developed strong communication and teamwork skills, as well as a keen attention to detail and a commitment to quality. I am now eager to apply my knowledge and skills to a challenging role in the food industry, where I can contribute to the development of safe, nutritious, and high-quality food products.
