May has embraced her new role with microbiology data management. In doing so she has worked with numerous plants to develop improved tools for housing
microbiological data. She is collaborating with IT on the development of a long-term software solution for trending & tracking data. In the meantime she has worked with the rest of the food safety & microbiology team to identify a temporary solution and
deliver it to plants.
Project Highlights
While working collaboratively with IT to develop a long-term software solution
for microbiological data management, I worked with the microbiology team
and numerous plants to identify a temporary solution and delivered it to 45+
plants for housing, tracking, and trending the microbiological data.
Leading a finished product microbiological testing project with cross-
functional teams to gather cost information for customer(s), provide an
awareness of potential implication when conducting pathogen testing in
products, and to identify action plans needed before the implementation
of finished product testing for pathogens.
Taking ownership of initiating the microbiology laboratory excellence
program and implementing it to 20+ ConAgra laboratories; establishing
laboratory contingency plans; developing and implementing third party
laboratory approval process for ConAgra.
Enhancing the microbiological data management tool to help improve
insights and reactions to environmental monitoring data to drive
appropriate corrective and preventive actions.
- Eliminated yeast spoilage issues using microbiological environment
and clean equipment data to identify niches for improvement
- Decreased environmental Listeria spp. positive from 80+ to < 5
within three months in a low moisture food facility
