I am a competent medical writer for the pharmaceutical industry with an excellent understanding of the regulatory bodies' requirements and processes. I am responsible for building credible project timelines, liaising with global teams and stakeholders, anticipating and mitigating risks to delivery, and effectively communicating project status to stakeholders. I must build and manage relationships with vendors/alliance partners. across different regions.
I was hired by the Environmental Laboratory at Roche Ireland as part of my final year BSc project to validate an ion chromatography instrument for the analysis of inorganic anions in its wastewater. I validated the method as per EPA protocol, decreasing the analysis time from 2+ hours (using the lab's existing bench methods) to only 10 minutes per sample (using the validated ion chromatographic method).
Served as the (maternity cover) QA representative for a multi-purpose manufactuting plant at Roche Ireland Limited for 6 months as part of my internship. It was a very demanding job, keeping me up on my feet all day and that's what made it such a great learning experience. No two days were the same. Everyday I learned new skills. Some of my responsibilities included reviewing daily batch records from the manufacturing plant and approving batches for release. Reviewing daily analytical test reports from the quality control laboratories and investigating deviations. Carrying out internal audits of the plant and training field operators to adhere to GMP guidelines.
