What I'm looking for

I seek a pharmacovigilance or oncology pharmacy role where I can apply safety case processing, data visualization, and regulatory reporting to improve patient safety and support clinical research.

I am an oncology pharmacist with three years' foundational experience in pharmacovigilance and clinical data systems, skilled at adverse event case processing, MedDRA coding, and regulatory reporting across oncology clinical trials and hospital care.

I have supported high-volume chemotherapy reviews and clinical trial safety activities, maintaining >95% data accuracy for AE coding and contributing to PSURs, TMF documentation, SOP development, and audit readiness.

I leverage REDCap, Excel and Power BI to build safety dashboards and trend analyses, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to ensure GVP, ICH-GCP and institutional compliance while driving continuous improvement in medication safety.
