What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote opportunities in Regulatory Affairs within agrochemical sector. Open to roles in project coordination, regulatory consulting—especially product registrations and compliance across international markets. In addition, with my TEFL certification, I'm exploring roles in online English teaching.

I'm a well-rounded professional with a strong background in regulatory affairs, particularly in GHS compliance, product registrations, and renewals within the agrochemical industry. I've worked across multiple SADC countries, handling everything from Safety Data Sheets to ensuring products meet both global and local regulations. I'm also an active member of CropLife and enjoy working on projects that involve collaboration and clear documentation. Recently, I completed my TEFL certification and now also teach English online, which has helped me strengthen my communication and adaptability skills in a whole new way.
