I am the Sensory Laboratory Manager. I completed my B.S. in Food Science and my M.S. in Scientific and Technical Communications with a minor in Statistics from Oregon State University. I have over 10 years experience running trained panel and consumer tests. Some of my current research includes the evaluation of bitterness quality in beer spiked with hop components and hop aroma and flavor characterization in beer made with experimental U.S.D.A. hop varieties. We run a lot of consumer taste tests in our lab.
Consumers come to taste a variety of food products ranging from acid solutions to french fries.
