I am a results-driven Regulatory Affairs professional with a Master’s degree in Regulatory Affairs from Northeastern University, specializing in International Regulatory Affairs. With hands-on experience at companies like EchoNous, Endologix, and Dentsply Sirona, I have successfully managed global submissions across multiple regions, including EU MDR, FDA, Health Canada, Brazil (ANVISA), and Japan. My expertise spans Class I and II SaMD, 510(k), PMA, IDE, and MDD-to-MDR transitions.

I have authored and reviewed technical files, supported product development teams with regulatory strategy, and coordinated submissions for MDSAP countries while navigating complex, evolving regulatory landscapes. I am also well-versed in QSR, ISO 13485, IVDR, CMDR, GMP, and 21 CFR requirements.
