Medical Device Regulatory Affairs & QA Specialist | EU IVDR, ISO 13485, CAPA, Post-Market Surveillance

Profile Summary

Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance specialist with nearly three years of hands-on experience supporting medical device and IVD manufacturers through the full product lifecycle. I author EU IVDR Technical Files across Class A, B, and C devices, manage CAPA processes and internal audits to ISO 13485, and lead post-market surveillance and Health Canada reporting. I've supported external audits with notified bodies including BSI, and I work regularly on export compliance and regulatory labeling transitions (e.g., EC REP/EU REP, ISO 15223 symbol updates). I help clients with technical file authorship and gap assessments, CAPA investigation and response writing, internal audit preparation and findings remediation, post-market surveillance reporting, and regulatory strategy for EU and Health Canada submissions. I'm comfortable working independently on tight deadlines and translating complex regulatory requirements into clear, audit-ready documentation. Currently pursuing RAC certification through RAPS.
