Objective: My primary goal is to gain hands-on experience in a pilot plant setting and expand my understanding of the product R&D process in the F&B and consumer packaged goods industries. I am also looking to gain exposure to regulatory affairs and business-oriented aspects so that I have a greater understanding and wider perspective of how products go from conceptualization to consumption. I hope to have a hand in F&B companies’ efforts to break into the international market and improve both accessibility and variety for consumers around the world.
Desired Field: I am most interested in regulatory affairs, R&D, business strategy/development, and data analysis.
