My role includes coordinating product recalls and facilitating audits with health authorities, demonstrating my attention to detail and proactive approach to ensuring food safety. Before this, I was a Quality Control Chemistry Analyst at Amino Chemicals, performing raw material testing using advanced instrumentation like HPLC and GC-MS. Additionally, I trained new employees in lab processes and quality protocols, strengthening my communication and leadership abilities.
With a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology, I have a solid academic foundation in hematology, microbiology, and clinical biochemistry. I am proficient in Microsoft Office and statistical analysis software, ensuring accurate data management and reporting.
Enclosed is my resume for your reference. I am excited to contribute my expertise in quality assurance, compliance, and laboratory management to your company. I look forward to discussing how my background aligns with your team's needs.
