I am a Regulatory Affairs Manager, Pharmacist, with over 12 years of experience in Regulatory Affairs, Pharmaceutical Development and Quality Assurance. After graduation in Pharmaceutical Sciences at Utrecht University, I started my career at Dechra Veterinary Products (2007 – 2015). As a project leader, I managed to develop many veterinary medicinal products and registered them throughout the world in a GMP environment. Furthermore, as a Qualified Person I was responsible for batch release. In the meanwhile, I gained my PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences (2009 – 2014), where I evaluated the risk of fractures in patients with neurological disorders. I continued my career at Ducares (a TNO initiative) (2015 – 2017), where I co-developed complex analytical methods and cooperated in several projects to enhance human and animal safety. I returned to regulatory affairs at Interchemie werken “De Adelaar” BV (2017 – 2019), being responsible for obtaining and maintaining veterinary registrations worldwide. In June 2019, I started a new challenge at Interdos in human medicine. I would like to describe myself as someone with a strong perseverance, structured, independent, precise and as a strong team player who maintains overview in complex situations. I am looking forward to cooperate with you.

Not long after completing my studies in biotechnology with a master in medical/molecular biotechnology at Wageningen University I started working as an regulatory affairs officer at Interdos. After 9.5 years of working as an RA officer and RA manager, learning and getting experience in the different aspects of regulatory affairs I transferred to my current function of Regulatory Affairs Specialist.

I am a cooperative and enthusiastic Regulatory Affairs Officer with over 15 years of experience in the human pharmaceutical industry. I started as a R&D project assistant at MSD (former Organon) and after several years I made a switch to the Regulatory Affairs department. In this position I coordinated and supported the submission of procedures in Europe. Since May 2015 I work at Interdos Pharma as a Regulatory Affairs Officer. In this position I provide services for our clients, varying from maintaining and updating registration dossiers, management of product information and writing registration dossiers for duplicate registrations. I have a positive and result-oriented nature, together with my wish to support others this makes me a motivated team player.

After several years of working in a research environment (cardiovascular and cancer research) I switched my career in 2014 to the pharmaceutical industry. I gained experience with GMP and worked mainly within a quality assurance department. As of January 1^st 2021, I started working for Interdos in a dual role of Regulatory Affairs Support Officer / QA Officer. In my role as QA Officer I will be involved in establishing and maintaining a good Quality management system for  Interdos and its partners. As a Regulatory Affairs support officer I will support the team by preparing and submission of registration documents to the local regulatory authorities. I describe myself as an accurate, well organised person. I am used to working in a team, maintaining good relationships with colleagues and customers.

I chose to study Pharmacy by literally pulling the profession from a hat but after completing my Bachelor of Pharmacy at Rhodes University in South Africa and discovering the magic in the science of medicine, I have never looked back.

It is very interesting how a molecule is optimised to transform people’s lives. I find satisfaction and joy in my role in Regulatory Affairs, knowing that I work daily to make quality medicinal treatments available to people.

I have gained experience in new generic product submissions, dossier lifecycle maintenance, SmPC/PIL compilations, change control procedures and artwork compliance in South Africa and other SSA countries by working at various South African generic pharmaceutical companies. My extensive experience together with my passion for regulatory affairs has paved my journey in becoming a part of the strong Interdos regulatory team.

I completed my Master’s degree in Biology, specialisation Toxicology at the University of Utrecht. After my studies I started working at the pharmacovigilance department of an international HQ of a pharmaceutical company. My main focus was on antidepressants and antipsychotics in the first few years. Later I also performed pharmacovigilance on more miscellaneous products, e.g. for migraine, embolism prophylaxis, diabetes, hypothyroidism. After 12 years in the pharmacovigilance department I had a major career switch and started a business in the leisure industry. In the companies I owned we pursued working with people from different backgrounds and nationalities, taking up responsibilities and keeping up customer service. Now, a little bit older and hopefully a lot wiser am I am back in my old profession in pharmacovigilance at Interdos. Here I hope to combine my knowledge of pharmacovigilance and my experience as an entrepreneur to aspire my ambitions for the future.
