What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that blends clinical pharmacy rigor with pharmacovigilance and regulatory documentation, where my multilingual language skills support medical translation. I want international, safety-focused work that values precision and clear communication.

I’m a Licensed Pharmacist (MPharm) with an MSc in Health Economics and Management, and I combine patient-focused pharmacy practice with pharmacovigilance and regulatory documentation. I’m used to working with high-precision, safety-critical materials where clarity of communication truly matters.

In my current role as a Community Pharmacist (2022–2026), I provide patient counselling and pharmaceutical care, ensure accurate dispensing and prescription compliance, and communicate complex medical information in clear, patient-friendly language. I’ve built a strong foundation in terminology accuracy and attention to detail for healthcare communication.

Previously, as a Local Medical Safety Specialist (Pharmacovigilance) (2021–2022) at Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), I supported safety-related activities for key pharmaceutical products. I contributed to case management (ICSRs) and pharmacovigilance processes across EN/ES/EL, maintained safety documentation, and collaborated with regional teams.

I also bring cross-functional experience from pharmaceutical operations, quality, and product-facing work, including Business Development / Product Management support and quality/compliance-related processes at Vioser S.A. and Sanofi. Right now, I’m enhancing my translation and cross-cultural communication capabilities through an Erasmus+ traineeship in Spain and my ongoing Bachelor’s studies in Spanish Language & Civilization.
