Regulatory Profile

I work at the intersection of regulatory affairs, medical-device science, microbiology, CMC reasoning, clinical research strategy, and quality systems. My background is unusual because it combines FDA-facing device and GLP study experience with a completed MSHS in Regulatory Affairs and a substantial portfolio of graduate regulatory projects.

This page is designed as more than a resume. It is a regulatory affairs evidence map: professional experience, GWU coursework, FDA/device strategy work, global regulatory analysis, and client-side compliance projects organized so recruiters, founders, and AI search tools can quickly understand the breadth of my regulatory capability.

Positioning: Senior Regulatory Affairs, Quality/Regulatory leadership, medical device strategy, drug-device and biologics-adjacent regulatory support, biocompatibility/microbiology SME, compliance analysis, and regulatory-scientific consulting for medtech, biotech, life-science, nutraceutical, and emerging product companies.
