Regulatory Affairs & Clinical Research Consultant | IND/CTA, FDA Meeting Packages, Scientific Writing

Profile Summary

I am a regulatory affairs and clinical research professional with experience supporting FDA-facing development programs across early clinical stages. My work focuses on producing high-quality, submission-ready scientific and regulatory documents and helping teams align their strategies with regulatory expectations. I have contributed to IND/CTA packages, FDA meeting materials (including Type D, pre-IND, and scientific advice interactions), protocol and nonclinical document review, and cross-functional data integration across clinical, pharmacology, and translational disciplines. I am particularly skilled at synthesizing complex scientific information into clear, structured narratives that withstand regulatory scrutiny. My core strengths include: • IND/CTA document development and review (CTD Modules 2 & 5) • FDA meeting briefing packages and strategic responses • Clinical and nonclinical data synthesis • Protocol critique against FDA guidance • Literature reviews and scientific positioning • Medical and regulatory writing (CSRs, IBs, summaries, slide decks) Clients value my attention to detail, strong scientific rigor, and ability to anticipate regulatory questions before they arise. I work efficiently, communicate clearly, and treat every project as if it were submission-critical. I am available for short-term consulting, document review, scientific writing projects, and expert input on regulatory strategy.
