Set Yourself Up For Success

I started my career way back in 2001 as a registered pharmacist in a retail pharmacy after completing my diploma in pharmacy. However, I was interested in learning further. Hence, I enrolled in B.Pharm in 2003 and completed in 2007. Thereafter, I joined TCS in July 2007 as Drug Safety Associate and used to process clinical, spontaneous and literature cases. Later, in 2010 I joined Sciformix Technologies as Medical Writer and was responsible for drafting safety reports like PSUR, PADERs, ASRs, Canadian Annual Reports. In Dec 2011 I joined Cactus Communications as a Data QC specialist and was responsible for quality control of wide array of documents ranging from integrated summary of safety, efficacy, CSRs, Manuscripts, etc. I had to leave from there as I had to travel to Australia for personal reasons. I joined back in TCS as a Business Process Lead and currently I am responsible for authoring aggregate reports and managing a small team of 5 writers.

I am a fun loving person, but I am always curious to observe and learn. I especially have an eye for detail and like to learn minute details. Moreover, I always try to reach the cause of the problem to effectively solve it.

My career interests are medical writing, pharmacovigilance and process management.

I would definitely like to manage a larger team in future

I chose JLI for several reasons including but not limited to:
1. JLI easy paced programs gives you the desired flexibility to hone your skills and leanings
2. JLI syllabus is ideal for continuous learning for working professionals like me.

I have enrolled in two programs. My experience has been satisfactory. Perhaps being active in the industry for quite a while, I have come across some very recent updates which need to be incorporated but I am sure JLI will do that. I must commend the presentation style of the slides of JLI.

I look forward to attain a long term career oriented profile after completing my program.

1. Honesty and Integrity
