Welcome Rita Luz, our new CQV and CSV Engineer!
Rita is from Corroios, Seixal, and holds a master’s degree in chemical and biochemical engineering, from FCT Nova. There, she was able to gain knowledge both in laboratory and in engineering areas. Afterwards, Rita began working at a Quality Control Laboratory in the food industry, ensuring that products would meet the defined quality standards before release, having gained plenty of experience in a variety of laboratory analytical methods.
Rita chose Stepscience as she felt the need to broaden her knowledge and learning about a new industry, specially the pharmaceutical industry, feeling drawn to the consulting business, given all the opportunities to interact directly with clients. Now, she takes part in a project by giving support to the qualification and validation of the facilities and equipment, ensuring quality, compliance, and operational excellence.
Rita’s first impression was of a welcoming company, where she was able to feel comfortable. At Stepscience she finds a company where the can personally grow, which she highly values. Her goal for the near future is to contribute meaningfully to the projects and being a reliable member of the teams, while learning and gaining experience in the pharmaceutical sector.
Rita describes herself as an organized and responsible person who, at her free time, enjoys relaxing, listening to music, being in the nature and playing sports, in particular tennis. It was because of her love for music that she learned how to play piano and guitar.
The rise of technology, and the attention it’s been getting, made technology something with which we can live without. So, it’s inevitable that the future will be driven by advanced technologies. The reality is that we are already living in the future, but there is still a lot of room for improvement and innovation in the Pharmaceutical and Life Science Industries.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data will allow the discovery of new drugs, and personalized treatments, while also focusing on sustainable practices such as green chemistry, minimizing environmental impact in the pharmaceutical manufacturing.
