Gained hands-on experience reviewing OTC products and supporting regulatory activities for sunscreen, acne, anti-dandruff, and antiperspirant products while updating internal labeling guidance to align with FDA OTC Monographs.
Labeling Compliance & Artwork Review
Performed artwork reviews and labeling assessments to help ensure regulatory compliance before product commercialization.
Product Registrations & Regulatory Documentation
Supported regulatory submissions, product registrations, and the preparation and review of technical documentation for cosmetic and OTC products.
Adverse Event Reporting & Cosmetovigilance
Monitored and evaluated consumer complaints and adverse events through cosmetovigilance activities while supporting post-market regulatory compliance.
U.S. & Canada Regulatory Requirements
Worked with regulatory requirements across both U.S. FDA and Health Canada markets, supporting product compliance throughout the product lifecycle.

Body Care
Knowledge of body lotions, cleansers, deodorants, and other personal care products, including ingredient considerations and applicable cosmetic regulations.
Personal Care Products
Understanding of the diverse personal care market and the regulatory requirements that support product safety, labeling, and compliance.
OTC Topical Products
Hands-on experience supporting OTC topical products, including sunscreen, acne, anti-dandruff, and antiperspirant products while working in Regulatory Affairs at The Estée Lauder Companies.
Product Classification & Intended Use
Understanding of how product claims, intended use, and formulation determine whether a product is regulated as a cosmetic, OTC drug, or combination product.
Ingredient & Labeling Considerations
Knowledge of ingredient review, INCI nomenclature, labeling requirements, artwork review, and compliance considerations to support accurate and regulatory-compliant product labeling.

Fragrance Development Lifecycle
Developed an understanding of the fragrance development process during my time at IFF, from concept and formulation through customer evaluation and commercialization.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) & Technical Documentation
Worked with technical documentation used to support product development and regulatory compliance.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Collaborated with evaluators, perfumers, quality teams, commercial teams, and scientists to support product development activities.
Product Commercialization
Observed how fragrance concepts progress through development, testing, customer evaluation, and launch.

Drug Development Lifecycle
Built through graduate coursework and my capstone research, covering drug discovery, preclinical development, clinical trials, FDA review, and commercialization.
IND & NDA Regulatory Pathways
Developed through graduate research projects focused on FDA drug approval processes and regulatory strategy.
Clinical Trial Design
Designed mock clinical development plans while studying clinical research methodology, GCP, and regulatory requirements.
Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) & cGMP
Applied these quality principles throughout graduate coursework, validation projects, and pharmaceutical case studies.
Drug Delivery Systems & Nanomedicine
Explored innovative drug delivery technologies, including nanoparticle-based therapies and targeted drug delivery, during my graduate capstone project.
Validation & Quality Systems
