What I'm looking for

I am seeking a pharmacovigilance role where I can advance patient safety through accurate ICSR processing, regulatory submissions, signal detection, and continuous process improvement within a collaborative, compliance-focused team.

I am a results-driven Pharmacovigilance Associate with 2.5 years of hands-on experience in clinical and post-marketing ICSR processing, regulatory submissions, and signal detection. I consistently delivered 98%+ quality compliance while ensuring timely global safety reporting.

I have practical expertise in Argus, ARISg, Veeva Vault, MedDRA and WHO-DD coding, and a strong working knowledge of FDA, EMA, ICH-GVP and ICH-GCP requirements. At TCS and IQVIA I managed end-to-end case processing, performed seriousness and expectedness assessments, conducted literature searches for signal detection, and supported inspection readiness and audits.

I seek to apply my attention to detail and process-optimization mindset to strengthen pharmacovigilance operations and improve patient safety, drawing on accomplishments such as reducing processing turnaround time by 20% and mentoring new team members for faster onboarding.
