What I'm looking for

I seek roles ensuring TMF/eTMF inspection readiness, improving documentation workflows, and collaborating cross-functionally in regulated pharmaceutical environments.

I am a clinical documentation professional with over 25 years' experience in the pharmaceutical industry, specializing in Trial Master File (TMF)/eTMF management, clinical documentation quality control, label design, and customer-facing operations. I have a proven record of streamlining processes to reduce entry time for sensitive data, improving accuracy and efficiency, and maintaining inspection-ready documentation for audits and regulatory reviews.

I hold a Bachelor of Health Service Management and am pursuing a Master of Healthcare Administration. I have worked in both client and vendor roles supporting global studies, developed and maintained TMF structures, coordinated study shipments and materials, and partnered with cross-functional teams to ensure timely, compliant deliveries of clinical labels and documentation.
