What I'm looking for

I seek a pharmacovigilance role where I can apply ICSR expertise, improve safety processes, mentor junior staff, and support regulatory-compliant risk management.

I am a Licensed PharmD and Safety Science professional with 3.5 years of hands-on experience in pharmacovigilance, drug safety operations, and post-marketing surveillance. I focus on ensuring patient safety through accurate case processing, MedDRA coding, and regulatory-compliant reporting.

At Fortrea and Wissen Infotech, I processed and analyzed hundreds of ICSRs using Argus and ARISg, conducted narrative writing and causality assessments, and performed quality reviews to improve case data accuracy. I consistently met FDA/EMA timelines and contributed to error-trending discussions to raise team performance.

I have acted as a subject matter expert, delivering refresher training and reducing onboarding time for new drug safety associates while supporting risk management activities and regulatory queries. My background also includes teaching pharmacology at The Oxford College of Pharmacy, where I developed assessments and provided student feedback.

I am proficient with safety databases (Argus, ARISg), MedDRA and WHO-DD coding, MS Office, basic SQL, and literature/databases such as PubMed and Scopus. I am committed to continuous improvement, process optimization, and maintaining high standards in drug safety monitoring.
