Hello! I'm Melissa, a young professional with comprehensive and diverse experience in the consumer packaged goods industry - with focus in the field of cosmetics and cannabis. As a professional: I've had the privilege of gaining experience at a wide range of organizations, all where I've been committed to product development, regulatory compliance, quality assurance and project management. I'm a solution-oriented innovator who knows how to get things done, whatever the challenge. I understand and prioritize compliance while balancing data-driven decisions and creativity. Skilled at building and managing project timelines, identifying, meeting and maintaining regulatory requirements, topical and ingestible formulation concepting and development, creating standard operating procedures to support quality management initiatives, managing client relationships from production partners and packaging vendors to regulatory advisors, and overseeing processes throughout product development to production and product launch. Outside of my 9-5: The former chemist in me enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. As a "Minister of Fun" and "Party Planning Committee Leader" within my previous organizations, I love event planning, from themed birthdays to showers and cubicle decorating, party planning scratches my project management and creative itch!
