Sensory & Consumer Research
Applying discrimination testing, descriptive and temporal analysis, and qualitative and quantitative consumer methods to guide decisions from early ideation through post-launch assessment.
My skills combine food sensory science, food formulation, consumer research, and product development. I work with sensory evaluation methods, statistical analysis, packaging research, and food preservation to understand how food products are experienced by consumers and how they can be improved.
I am especially interested in applying sensory and consumer insights to support food innovation, improve product quality, strengthen SME food businesses, and contribute to more sustainable food systems.
