Analytical Chemist with QC, GLP, and pharmaceutical marketing experience.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Analytical Chemist with hands-on experience in laboratory analysis, quality control, pharmaceutical production, and sales & marketing. I bring strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in fast-paced environments.
In my current role at Philmed Pharmaceutical (Marketing Executive), I establish and maintain relationships with healthcare professionals and clients while promoting pharmaceutical products and communicating product benefits. I also conduct market research to identify customer needs, trends, and opportunities, supporting sales strategies to improve brand visibility and market penetration.
Previously, I interned at Sphinix Pharmaceutical (Intern – Quality Control & Production), where I conducted microbiological and wet chemistry analyses for quality assurance. I maintained accurate documentation of raw materials, packaging, and finished products, and assisted in penicillin and non-beta-lactam production processes.
I’m experienced across multiple pharmaceutical packaging lines (tablet, capsule, liquid, dry syrup, ointment, and sachet) and committed to compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and safety standards. I’m also confident collaborating as a reliable team player while solving problems and supporting data documentation and record keeping.
