Work Experience
Relevant
Accomplishments: Worked in teams at the University of Guelph to apply engineering principles in the processing of biological and food products in the food industry. Studied and implemented designs of unit processes involved in biological, pharmaceutical and food materials. Thoroughly examined the application of microbiology principles to food and food sanitation. Demonstrations and laboratory exercises provided practical application. Developed a thorough knowledge in the mathematical description and identification of biological systems through mass and energy balances, reactions in biological systems, biomedical, food and bio-processing and equipment design applications. Thoroughly studied the principles of quality assurance and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP), and their application to processing plant practices as well as processing standards. Thoroughly reviewed the importance of food microorganisms, sanitation and safety practices for the food industry, The Sanitation Code, Public Health Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act, WHMIS legislation and WSIB food handling practices, infection control, HACCP, kitchen safety, fire safety, accident investigation and work inspection. In depth study of the quality standards to ensure highest food quality, preparation, Implementation, Validation & Maintenance of GMPs/HACCP systems. Gained thorough knowledge about the implementation of SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) in order to meet the highest quality standards of the product.
