Your role/part:

I am the Research & Development Manager at Intraceuticals, a role I took on roughly 6 months ago after almost five years at BWX (formerly Beautiworx) in development chemist, team leader and R&D Manager roles. This position allows me to develop innovative new formulations with a strong focus on product efficacy while working with our management team to improve regulatory, quality control and product development processes.  

How have your studies helped progress:

I studied a Diploma of Personal Care Formulation with IPCS to develop my knowledge specifically in the Cosmetic sector. After completing a Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science at Monash with a major in Formulation Science I knew that this was the area I wanted to work in. As it is a relatively small industry I wanted an extra edge to help me find a job in this field and ensure that when I did I felt ready for whatever I faced in the industry. The course is very practical based and the hands-on formulating helps give you confidence when formulating in the laboratory. The support throughout the course was great and the online format meant that it easily fitted in with full-time work.
