What I'm looking for

I seek roles in pharmaceutical production, R&D or operational excellence where I can apply process improvement, quality and data-driven decision-making while advancing my R&D and leadership skills.

I am a pharmacist with hands-on experience in pharmaceutical production, operational excellence, and process improvement, having worked with Bayer, Novartis and GSK clients while contributing to União Química's corporate productivity, quality and cost initiatives. I hold a Bachelor's in Pharmacy and Biochemistry and am completing postgraduate studies in Cosmetology (R&D) and a Master’s in Biopharmaceutical Sciences.

At União Química I managed production KPIs, inventory, supplier contacts, OEE analysis, SOP development, training programs and corporate reporting to the Vice-Presidency, and previously supported pharmacovigilance, toxicology assistance and production analysis in clinical and industrial settings. I continuously pursue certifications in GMP, Lean Six Sigma and project management to expand my scientific and practical competencies.
