I’m a graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics from McGill University, with a growing career in both the life sciences and food industry sectors. My academic background has given me a strong foundation in data analysis, market trends, and resource management, while my diverse work experience has allowed me to build practical, people-focused, and technical skills. I first developed my business acumen and operational insight through internships in agriculture and food production—supporting farm operations at Bel Ga LLC and managing sales coordination for Minh Phu Seafood Group, one of Vietnam’s leading seafood exporters. Both roles sharpened my abilities in team coordination, logistics, and cross-functional communication. In my role as a Food Service Business Developer at Unione Food Group, I applied both my sales knowledge and multicultural background to build strong client relationships within Montreal’s vibrant restaurant industry. Currently, as an In Vivo Lab Technician at Charles River Laboratories, I’m expanding my technical skill set by supporting preclinical research studies with a focus on animal care, regulatory compliance, and data integrity—critical elements in advancing scientific discovery and drug development.
