Meet Gokce
About you
I am a Food Engineer, graduated in 2013. I have professional experience in quality management and food safety systems, particularly within dairy production. I worked for several years as a Quality Management Specialist, where I was responsible for BRCGS-based systems, audits, documentation, and continuous improvement processes.
In addition, I gained hands-on experience in goat milk production, including R&D, production, quality assurance, and personnel management. Outside of work, I value continuous learning and professional development, especially in food safety and quality systems.
