What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values patient safety and offers opportunities for professional growth in drug safety and clinical research.

With over 9 years of experience in the healthcare industry, I am a dedicated Drug Safety Associate specializing in Pharmacovigilance and Medical Coding. My journey began with a Master’s degree in Microbiology, which laid the foundation for my career in clinical research and drug safety. I have honed my skills at leading organizations such as Accenture, where I played a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and compliance of adverse event reporting.

Throughout my career, I have successfully collaborated with major clients, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, to enhance safety protocols and improve operational strategies. My experience encompasses a broad spectrum of responsibilities, from case processing and quality assurance to regulatory compliance and medical coding. I am also an AAPC Certified Professional Coder, which further solidifies my expertise in medical coding and auditing.

My commitment to continuous learning is evident in my participation in industry conferences and training sessions, where I stay updated on the latest trends and regulations in drug safety. I am passionate about contributing to the healthcare field and ensuring patient safety through meticulous data management and analysis.
