With a passion for both science and food, I have excelled in pairing the two in a career as a Scientist in Food Manufacturing. Having managed every piece of the product development lifecycle from fuzzy front-end innovation to product phase-out at the end of its life cycle in market, I excel in efficiently completing and flawlessly executing food service and innovation projects.As an open-minded and agile professional, I strive to promote a team-focused mentality and believe that helping each other promotes positive attitudes, leading to a work environment that is naturally productive. By leading, influencing, and building high-performing teams, we can make products that people love while achieving company success. Some career highlights include:Leading a reformulation of McDonald’s chocolate milk as Senior Scientist of Food Science and Innovation with Dean Foods. Ultimately, these adjustments reduced sodium by 35%, achieved consumer scores above the gold standard, and reduced sugar needs by 2.1 million pounds across the U.S. network annually.Receiving the Supplier of the Year Award with Colorado Premium (2016) for developing the beef formula used in multiple Noodles & Company dishes nationwide.Selling more than 11 million pounds of hot dogs within the first year for Burger King as Scientist with Kraft Foods, in addition to maintaining the all-beef tag via careful formulation while implementing a slice along the hot dog’s length to reduce the item’s choking hazard risk. Throughout my career, I have been recognized for focusing on the big picture to understand processes, investigate root causes of issues, and present solutions. I also offer strong laboratory skills as well as a proven ability to prioritize competing tasks and complete projects by their deadlines.I would welcome connections to other scientists or organizations looking to hire a highly motivated, data-centric professional.Key skills: Product Development, Brand Renovations, Food & Consumer Science, Formula Development, Sensory Testing, Clinical Trials, Supply Chain, Program & Project Management, Relationship Building, Vendor Interactions, Good Manufacturing Processes, Quality Assurance
