About Leslie Johnson

I am a motivated, energetic team-player with a diverse background and experience base. I have nine (9) years of professional industry experience, and I am interested in a full-time position. My primary expertise is in supervision and management of Food Science, Safety, and Quality; however, my skill set lends itself to understanding contracts, creatingand implementing policy, advising, interpreting federal regulations, mentoring, guiding, tracking progress, across the board and providing excellent multi-level communication. My personality and non-threatening approach offer further ability to engage well with people to solve problems and manage tough situations, as needed, which I believewill be an asset to any position. I have met the requirements and do currently hold a security clearance.My experiences and knowledge-base as a master’s level food scientist and HACCP professional are transferrable and have prepared me to successfully coordinate internal and USDA audits, supervise and manage staff for international and national food companies. I am knowledgeable of the required federal regulations for safe quality foods (SQF) and have skills to ensure compliance of good laboratory practices. I successfully communicate and supervise teams, solve crises and determine best practices through deductive reasoning and problem sensitivity. My experience has further allowed me to write, edit, and modify federal documents, create forms, protocols, and company recommendations; which I did for three industrial facilities that ultimately impacted public safety. My organizational, planning, and prioritization skills allow me to research and obtain necessary information to complete tasks at-hand in fast paced environments. I learn quickly and am easily adaptable, and believe my knowledge-base and skillset will be an asset to your company.
