Work History

Quality Control Specialist

Enzymology Research
Miltona, MN
11.2017 - 05.2025

I started off in Batch Making. Taking enzymes and fillers measured to exact formulaas and blending them together to than later go into capsules for consumption. I then went itto receiving and learned all of receiving which led me to becoming the Production Supervisor overseeing production from the time in comes in the door as a raw material all the way through until the time that it is bottled into a finished product and ready to ship to customers. Quality control was always intriguing to me so i decided to step away from management and enter QC. I was required to fill out correct paperwork, check each room for cleanliness and keep close eyes on all production making sure no mistakes were being made daily.

Conducted quality inspections on enzyme batches to verify purity, identity, and specification compliance.

Documented test results and deviations in laboratory tracking systems for accurate batch release decisions.

Investigated nonconforming materials and initiated corrective actions to resolve root-cause issues.
