As a Quality Assurance Technologist with over five years of experience in the FMCG industry, I have successfully led and contributed to multiple initiatives that enhanced food safety, hygiene standards, and operational efficiency. At RFG Foods, I played a pivotal role in coordinating the Food Safety Culture Program and conducting internal audits that led to the closure of non-conformances and improved compliance with ISO 22000:2018 and BRCGS standards. I have driven process improvements through validation and verification of sanitation controls, calibration schedules, and cleaning validations, resulting in measurable cost savings and increased product quality. My proactive approach to customer complaint investigations and root cause analysis has strengthened our quality management system and reduced recurrence rates. Additionally, I have mentored WIL students, trained staff on food safety protocols, and served as a team leader in the labelling area, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
