What I'm looking for

I seek pharmacovigilance roles focused on ICSR processing, regulatory submissions, and safety database management within collaborative, compliance-driven teams offering growth and cross-functional exposure.

I am a dedicated drug safety physician with over two years of focused experience in pharmacovigilance, case processing, and regulatory submissions. I combine clinical training in dental medicine with practical PV experience across CRO and client-facing environments.

I have end-to-end experience with Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSRs): intake, triage, MedDRA and WHODD coding, medical review support, narrative writing, and global safety database submissions using ARGUS and ARISg.

My background includes supporting audits and inspections, mailbox reconciliation, duplicate checks, follow-up for minimum safety information, and troubleshooting submission issues to meet regulatory timelines and client SLAs. I am proficient in MS Office, Adobe Acrobat, and document management systems.

I am adaptable, client-focused, and open to relocation; I maintained professional knowledge during a recent career break and am ready to contribute to pharmacovigilance teams that value accuracy, compliance, and collaborative problem-solving.
