Graduating in September 2007 with an Advanced Food Science Degree, I am currently searching for a job in R&D or Marketing of a food processing industry.

Specialized in sensory analysis, I have already a year of experience in this area, including a 6 month intership in the USA with a descriptive panel.

I am a very curious person, reading a lot about new products, innovation and market data since I believe it is what drives the food industry nowadays.
Moreover the innovation process needs insight form both market and consumers, and that is exactly what thrills me in product development.

Due to my Food Science background, sensory specialization in the USA and packaging/marketing specialization in France, I can offer the double vision of the food industry, scientific as well as more marketing oriented.
