My Food Industry Journey
After completing a Bachelor of Food Science and Technology at Santiago de Chile University (Chile, South America) in 2010, I worked as a Food Technologist in Quality Assurance & Quality Control for the Fast Manufacturing Consumer Goods (FMCG), Foodservice and Flavour industries where I finally led my career towards Product Development, by assisting stakeholders in utilising my technical expertise in sensory evaluation, colours & flavours, food ingredients and several food technologies by managing to place the products into the market place.
In 2015, I won a scholarship to study for a Certificate IV in Food Science & Technology at William Angliss Institute (Melbourne). Since established in Australia, I have worked in gelato production, as a product development coordinator at Kadac Pty Ltd and at the same time, I was a technical consultant in product development collaborating on various projects with AAS Food Technology Pty Ltd.
My Business Journey
As I am constantly reinventing and professionally developing, I saw an opportunity to apply my strong technical background, communication skills and passion for creativity to translate other people’s ideas into successful products.
After two years of consulting, I decided to set up Great Food Creations Pty Ltd, which supports businesses in product development from concept to industrialisation by delivering food science and technology advice.
With the company, I wish for people to learn and thrive as their ideas become a successful reality by supporting, guiding, and sharing my Food Science and Technology expertise when developing tailored products for their business.
