What I'm looking for

I seek remote, preferably full-time roles in document control, QA, or regulatory support with clear processes, audit-readiness, and opportunities to apply EDMS expertise; I’m also open to sales roles with residual income.

I am a seasoned Document Control Specialist with extensive experience managing manual and electronic document control systems in regulated environments, including cGMP/ISO and pharmaceutical settings. I have routinely served as a System Administrator for MasterControl and worked with EDMS platforms like QCBD, supporting document lifecycle, change control, and records management.

Throughout my career I have led projects to reformat, archive, scan, upload and verify controlled documents, improved efficiencies by converting to PDF-based systems, and maintained training and QA records to support audits and regulatory submissions. I have balanced contract and staff roles across biotechnology, medical device, chemical, and manufacturing companies.

I seek remote opportunities, prefer full-time but will consider part-time, and am open to sales roles for SaaS or B2B products with residual income. I bring dependable document control, strong MS Word/Excel and Adobe skills, and a practical, audit-ready approach to records and process management.
