What I'm looking for

I seek a remote pharmacovigilance or drug safety role where I can apply SAE processing, MedDRA coding, narrative writing, and QC skills within a collaborative, deadline-driven team.

I am a Registered Nurse with over fifteen years of focused Drug Safety experience in the pharmaceutical and clinical research sectors, skilled at assessing Serious and Non-Serious Adverse Events and maintaining regulatory timelines.

I have extensive hands-on experience processing and entering SAE data into Argus, ARISg and other PV systems, performing QC, coding events with MedDRA, creating site queries, and writing clear safety narratives used for sponsor and FDA reporting.

I bring strong clinical judgment from oncology and transplant nursing, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and a consistent track record of meeting deadlines and serving as a reliable point of contact for clients and study sites.
