About
I graduated from Rowan University in 2012 with my Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences. After graduation from Rowan, I joined IEH Laboratories for almost 2 years as a food microbiologist. Currently, I work at Pinnacle Foods as a Food Safety and Microbiology QA Specialist. I am also enrolled as a graduate student with Michigan State University, where I am working towards my online Master’s of Science in Food Safety. Upon completion of my Master’s Degree, I am planning on extending my academic and career profiles and apply the knowledge I gain towards enhancing my career.
