About Ms. KayLonni Bradley
Ms. Bradley's career in the food industry began soon after she received a bachelor's degree in food science from Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. Graduating in 2011, she was soon hired by Seaboard Foods and participated in the company's management training program. The training was comprehensive, giving her a deep understanding of the company's operations. After a few months, she was promoted to a supervisory role due to her excellence on the job.
For the last 13 years, Ms. Bradley has been a key part of Seaboard Foods. During her time with the company, she served as a production supervisor and took on the additional responsibilities of an assistant general foreman. She eventually transitioned to a role that enabled her to use her educational background and the knowledge she had obtained on the job. She excelled in the regulatory food safety manager position and later became the director.
Ms. Bradley's Role in Food Safety
Ms. Bradley's role as the director of food safety and quality assurance at Seaboard Foods is vital to its production. Her experience within the company has empowered her to foster positive collaboration between the food safety and quality assurance team and the facility's production team. She also manages the necessary food safety documentation, oversees the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan audits and ensures the company adheres to the industry regulations. These tasks are pivotal to maintaining the company's operational integrity.
Ms. Bradley points to the recent increase in recalls in the food industry as proof of how essential it is for companies to focus on preventive measures. She acknowledges that no organization is infallible, but by concentrating on the strength of their operations, companies can quickly identify the source of a recall and address it effectively.
The Importance of Mentorship
Mentorship has been an important part of Ms. Bradley's career development. Though some of her mentors were not in the same industry, they guided the evolution of her professional life by sharing their insights based on their experiences. She nurtures her relationships within her industry, recognizing the importance of not becoming stagnant. If she encounters a situation she is not familiar with, she quickly tries to gain the knowledge needed to address it. "I don't know this area. I have zero experience with it. I can reach out to people who know it so I can learn it," she explains.
As a woman in a male-dominated industry, Ms. Bradley knows the value of mentorships and actively supports others entering the field. Over the past 12 years, she has seen a "significant cultural evolution" happening in the workplace and the shift has positively influenced the relationship between the employees and management.
Since mentorship has been vital to her development, Ms. Bradley is committed to supporting the industry's new supervisors by offering them the same valuable guidance she received.
