A calm, reliable, cooperative and communicative Regulatory Affairs Manager with a general microbiology background. At the moment I have almost 15 years of Regulatory Affairs experience for human medicinal products, varying from writing, updating and reviewing eCTD dossiers to coordinating variations, national procedures, MRPs and DCPs. At the same time being the intermediate between client and authority, keeping in mind deadlines and meeting the clients target.

In the near future I will expand my RA knowledge regarding the MENA region.

I am a Regulatory Affairs Manager, Pharmacist, with over 17 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. Since June 2019, I work at Interdos, where I co-developed and registered several human medicinal products for different customers.  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 1st 2021, I started working for Interdos. As a Regulatory Affairs Officer I ensure that a company's product comply with the regulations of the regions where they want to distribute them. I keep myself up to date with national and international legislation, guidelines and customer practices.

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.

As an organic chemist (BSc), I have always been interested in Pharmacy and to be of assistance to improve people’s health. After several (10+) years of working in different quality departments in both GMP and non-GMP companies, I started at Interdos as a Regulatory Affairs Officer. I am a pragmatic, reliable person with strong analytical skills, which makes Regulatory Affairs a logical function for me.

I am looking forward to help you with your Regulatory Affairs questions.
