With over a decade of professional experience, my work has centered on upholding and advancing compliance, efficiency, and innovation in regulated environments.

I have played key roles in cross-functional teams during product lifecycle phases, from development through commercialization, ensuring seamless coordination between R&D, manufacturing, and quality functions.
My academic foundation includes a Master’s degree in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, complemented by an MBA with a focus on Comprehensive Management. This dual background has enabled me to combine scientific rigor with strategic business insight, driving initiatives that support operational excellence while meeting global regulatory standards.

I have also guided teams through FDA audits and global health authority inspections with zero critical observations, reflecting my commitment to quality culture and continuous improvement.
My approach to leadership is collaborative and solutions-driven. I focus on mentoring teams, developing quality systems that are both compliant and scalable, and fostering a proactive compliance mindset across departments.
