About Candidate
Industrial Chemistry graduate with hands-on experience across Formulation Development, Analytical Development, Production, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control within the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.
During my 6-month industrial internship at Dawa Life Sciences — a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer — I rotated through six departments, including Production, QA, QC, Formulation Development, Warehousing, and Maintenance. I supported analytical method development and validation (HPLC, dissolution testing, stability studies), contributed to generic product formulation and lab-scale trial batches, and worked alongside production teams to ensure cGMP compliance and batch quality.
My background also includes in-process quality assurance and analytical testing in the tea manufacturing industry at Sotik Tea Companies, plus independent research on the physicochemical properties of cooking oils.
I am now seeking opportunities in pharmaceutical operations, production, or quality assurance where I can apply my cross-functional training, attention to detail, and commitment to quality to grow into a skilled manufacturing professional.

Work & Experience
Completed a 6-month rotational internship across six departments: Production, Quality Assurance (QA), Quality Control (QC), Formulation Development (FD), Warehousing, and Maintenance. • Supported analytical method development and validation using HPLC, dissolution testing, and stability studies in Analytical Development. • Assisted in formulating generic products and executing lab-scale trial batches in Formulation Development. • Worked with production and QA teams to ensure cGMP compliance, batch documentation, and in-process quality checks. • Recognized in an official recommendation letter for exceptional analytical skills, dedication, and collaborative teamwork.
Conducted in-process quality assurance checks on finished black tea including liquor, infusion, and leaf appearance. Performed moisture content analysis for process control and product release. Operated and monitored industrial equipment (CTC, rotor vane, boilers) while adhering to safety protocols. Maintained production logs supporting traceability and continuous improvement.
Conducted independent research titled "Analysis of Selected Physicochemical Properties of Vegetable Fats and Oils Used in Deep Frying French Fries in Homa Bay Town." Collected field samples and analyzed viscosity, acidity, peroxide value, and fatty acid composition. Compiled data into a technical report demonstrating thermal degradation effects on oil quality.
