Chemical Engineer and Biotechnology graduate with experience in GMP-regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing, aseptic processing, validation, and quality systems. I have hands-on experience supporting GMP documentation, validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ), change control, CAPA, and environmental monitoring in controlled manufacturing environments. I’ve worked closely with QA, Engineering, and Production teams to support compliance, investigate deviations, and drive continuous improvement. My focus is on maintaining product quality, ensuring regulatory compliance, and supporting efficient manufacturing in regulated environments. I’m drawn to roles that combine technical work with problem-solving, where I can collaborate across teams, contribute to practical improvements, and continue growing toward future leadership opportunities.
