I have diverse experience working for an industrial company that manufactures parts for 18-wheel trucks. As a Quality Auditor, I ensure that all products, processes, and services meet specified standards of quality by conducting regular audits and inspections, analyzing data to identify improvement areas, and collaborating with other departments to develop corrective actions. In my role as a Lab Technician, I perform scientific tests, experiments, and analyses to support the manufacturing process. This involves preparing and handling samples, conducting experiments according to established procedures, recording and analyzing data, and maintaining laboratory equipment while adhering to safety protocols. Additionally, my experience as a Cook involves planning and preparing meals, managing kitchen inventory, ensuring food safety, and collaborating with kitchen staff to maintain efficient operation and service. Together, these roles contribute to a comprehensive understanding of quality assurance, laboratory procedures, and efficient food service management in an industrial setting.
