Her Story
About Hilda
I have 26 years of experience working in the quality area as an industrial engineer with a specialty in quality and productivity. I'm originally from Mexico and am now a USA citizen. My strong experience includes about 12 years in Mexico working with different companies - Japanese and European. Right now in the USA, my strong experience is in food safety. I work as a PCQI Quality Assurance Manager in continuous improvements, giving different consultations to different companies. Currently, I work in the snack kitchen as a Quality Assurance Manager with SQF certification. This company is a leader for women, and we produce different healthy foods without preservatives. I'm very proud of my experience starting operations at different companies where I developed quality systems in different norms until getting certification for the companies. I have experience in ISO, different ISOs, and in the food industry - SQF certification, GMPs, and BRC. I enjoy so much developing different people and giving training to make more leaders in the companies. I always say 'you can do it!' - you only need to learn a little bit and get more abilities, but you can do it. I enjoy so much working with different cultures and different languages.
