About

I am a highly skilled food safety and quality professional with experience in nutraceutical and ready-to-eat food manufacturing, specializing in regulatory compliance and quality systems. I am an SQF Practitioner with HACCP and PCQI certifications, complemented by specialized training in Food Defense Awareness, FSSC 22000 (Version 5.1), and Internal Auditing. My expertise includes document control, microbiological testing, and ensuring compliance with stringent food safety and quality standards applicable to dietary supplements and food products. I have hands-on experience supporting audits, implementing preventive controls, and maintaining compliant operations in fast-paced, highly regulated environments. Bilingual in English and Spanish, I excel at cross-functional communication and collaboration, helping diverse teams align on food safety, quality, and regulatory expectations. I am detail-oriented, proactive, and committed to protecting consumers, product integrity, and brand trust.
