What I'm looking for

Regulatory Affairs professional seeking remote opportunities in the agrochemical sector, with expertise in project coordination, administration, and regulatory consulting—particularly product registrations and compliance in international markets. Additionally, TEFL-certified and open to online English teaching roles to support global learners.

I’m a detail-oriented and people-focused professional with experience across regulatory compliance, administration, and communication-driven roles. My career has been shaped by working in highly regulated environments, where accuracy, confidentiality, and clear communication are essential. I’ve supported compliance processes, managed documentation, coordinated with stakeholders across regions, and ensured that work aligns with strict guidelines and timelines.

Alongside my regulatory background, I bring strong administrative and client-facing skills. I’m comfortable handling correspondence, organizing records, managing schedules, and supporting day-to-day operations in fast-paced environments. I take pride in being reliable, proactive, and highly organized, with a natural ability to anticipate needs and follow through to completion.

I also hold a 120-hour TEFL certification, which strengthened my communication, instructional, and cross-cultural skills. This experience sharpened my ability to explain complex information clearly, adapt my approach to different audiences, and remain patient and empathetic—skills I carry into every role I take on.

My interests lie in remote roles that value structure, communication, and impact, particularly in administrative support, customer or client services, operations support, and compliance-related functions. I’m especially drawn to companies that value integrity, continuous improvement, and people-centered work. I thrive in environments where I can contribute meaningfully, learn continuously, and support teams in doing their best work—no matter where they’re based.
