What I'm looking for

I seek senior clinical research roles focused on monitoring, regulatory affairs, and pharmacovigilance within collaborative, GCP-driven teams that offer growth and opportunities to lead quality and compliance.

I am a senior clinical researcher with 16 years' experience in the pharmaceutical industry, specializing in clinical monitoring, medical affairs and regulatory support. I coordinate scientific follow-ups, centralize information, and ensure GCP and SOP compliance while participating in FDA inspections and quality audits.

I have led monitoring and MSL activities across vaccines, infectious disease and oncology studies, driving data quality through CRF review, TMF/ISF management and database lock readiness. I seek roles where I can apply my pharmacological and toxicological knowledge, pharmacovigilance training, and project management skills to improve trial integrity and regulatory outcomes.
