About Me

I am an experienced R&D Scientist with a strong background in food science and sales support. Currently, I work at Crystal Farms Dairy Company, where I lead technical projects for over 140 natural cheese items. My role involves aligning business strategies with sales support and managing multiple innovation projects. I take pride in presenting technical training to various teams, ensuring they understand product characteristics and how they can drive sales. I have successfully launched new products and facilitated compliance initiatives to enhance sustainability. My previous experience at Grande Cheese Company allowed me to develop my technical expertise further, where I provided sensory insights and training to improve product formulations. I have a passion for connecting customer needs with technical solutions and thrive in collaborative environments. My educational background includes a B.S. in Food Science from The Ohio State University, where I honed my skills in product development and project management.
