Summary
I am currently studying Master of Food Science and Agribusiness at Monash University with a strong specialisation in food microbiology, food safety, food chemistry, and food engineering. I possess comprehensive knowledge in microbial identification, food contamination analysis, HACCP implementation, chemical composition analysis, and food processing optimization. My hands-on experience includes practical application of food science principles through laboratory work and quality control processes. I am deeply passionate about food microbiology, food safety, food innovation, and food engineering, and am seeking a WIL industry internship where I can apply my advanced food science expertise, research skills, and technical knowledge to contribute meaningfully to food industry innovation and safety standards.
