What I'm looking for

I’m open to exploring diverse roles within the pharmaceutical industry, focusing on scientific excellence and operational efficiency—while continuing to deliver accurate, compliant, and timely safety documents through strong cross-functional collaboration.

I’m an Associate Safety Medical Writer focused on pharmacovigilance and regulatory safety writing, delivering accurate, compliant, and timely documents that support global submissions.

At Novo Nordisk, I’ve led end-to-end planning, coordination, and authoring of DSURs, PSURs, RMPs, ACOs, CRM plans, and ad-hoc HA responses, while partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to align safety strategy and integrate scientific and regulatory input.

I also build organizational capability through knowledge sharing, professional trainings, and clear scientific presentations. Earlier, as a contract Associate Safety Medical Writer and a Junior Research Fellow, I developed strong strengths in data interpretation, collaboration, and producing submission-ready, high-quality scientific work.
