As a food scientist with a degree in food science from the University of Arkansas, I have a passion for ensuring the highest standards of food quality while driving innovation in the industry. I have a knack for project management, quality assurance, and research and development, and I enjoy applying my expertise in different settings and challenges.Most recently, I was the Technical Services Manager at Partake Foods, where I successfully launched 6 new products from formulation to commercialization, commercialized 8 formulas on a linear oven that improved consistency and quality of production and increased throughput by 4x, and spearheaded the development and execution of experiments that supported the expansion of the product line and provided crucial insights for management decision-making. I also implemented cost optimization efforts by researching and testing alternate ingredients and suppliers, saving over $100K annually. Prior to that, I was a Senior Specialist of Quality Assurance and Commercialization at Beyond Meat, where I was instrumental in launching multiple new products by guiding and contributing to commercialization trials, developing a comprehensive playbook with step-by-step procedures, and collaborating with executive management to enhance the quality assurance program within the commercialization process.I am dedicated to promoting the integrity of food and enhancing consumer experiences through my work. I am always eager to learn new skills, technologies, and trends in the food industry, and I am looking for opportunities to leverage my strengths and grow my career.

Listed skills include Microsoft Office, Microsoft Powerpoint, Leadership, Social Media, and 6 others.
