What I'm looking for
I’m a Quality & Compliance Specialist with 15+ years of experience across healthcare (NHS UK) and corporate environments. I’ve built my career around patient pathway coordination, medical documentation, and regulatory compliance, with proven results in audits, data validation, and process improvement under pressure.
From serving as a Quality Auditor to ensuring global product transactions compliance, I focus on accuracy, risk awareness, and actionable corrective actions. Now, I’m transitioning into Clinical Research, bringing strong GCP (ICH E6) capability, clinical systems/data management experience, and an unwavering commitment to quality standards.
