Meet Derya
About you
My current role is Regional Quality & Food Safety Manager.
Why did you join the BRCGS Professional Programme?
I have been involved in this program because I have been learning for years and wanted to increase my competence by receiving more detailed and specific trainings on a management system that is very important for businesses.
What value do you personally feel the BRCGS Professional certification brings to you?
I am very happy to be involved in this program. I was able to make a plan to obtain up-to-date and specific knowledge. It is an important feature of the program that my competence has been approved and this approval will continue, it is not just one time.
How has/will the recognition programme impacted your work?
I believe that by being included in the program, my network will also develop, and I can evaluate the processes with a global perspective. I cannot share the detailed plan of the program here, but the programme steps present you with the development plan that you have neglected and you cannot normally spare time for in your workload. If you are a Quality Manager, it is impossible for this programme not to benefit you.
How did you get to your current role?
I came to the position where I am with my hard work, active, never-ending passion for learning personality and good communication skills.
What is your educational background?
I have Bachelor Degree on Veterinary, Master of Science Degree on Microbiology and Ph.D. Degree in Virology.
What are your career ambitions/aims?
I have a mission to lead understandable, useful, meaningful practices and perspectives while implementing quality management systems. Fulfilling this mission in global positions is my career plan.
