Then, in 2009, I was given the opportunity to work as a microbiology lab technician. At the same time, I started studying different microbiology courses, and undertook training in HACCP (Analysis of Critical Control Risks) and best production practices.  I started a Bachelor’s degree in business management at the university, where I am currently finishing my fourth year.  I also provided support to the research and development department for new product testing and reformulations. In 2012, I started as a quality supervisor.
