A New Chapter…

It is time for me to accept that my career in Pharmaceuticals and Regulatory Affairs has come to an end.

It is an incredibly hard decision, because I really loved and enjoyed working in Regulatory Affairs. I truly wanted to learn Advanced Therapies and work in that environment, and I feel that I made a lot of advances in this area, in isolation. I have tried incredibly hard to keep up to speed with current advances in the industry, to develop my skills and knowledge and to move forward, but I’ve reached a point where I simply cannot do this on my own.

I have found myself in a position that I don’t see others facing.

For over three and a half years, it appears the industry has been closed to me, simply, from my perspective, for requiring an environment that respects privacy, personal information, boundaries, and integrity - an ethical workplace. I’ve always treated others with respect and dignity, never violating the privacy or rights of those around me.

And yet, I have faced a level of exclusion and financial pressure that seems disproportionate and unique to my case.

There are some things I simply cannot control.

I want to say that I did meet some good people in the pharmaceutical industry, and I don’t want to focus on the negative.

But now it is time to face the inevitable. I’m now choosing to move on. My hope is to be allowed the space to find new work and live my life in peace.

I’m now focused on a new chapter. I hope to be able to seek new employment in a different career path where I can be encouraged to use my talent and ability - traits that I feel have been wasted in isolation.

I also wish to engage in my personal interests without interference or the carry-over of past professional grievances. I’d like to ask that my personal hobbies, contacts, and any private events that I’ve arranged to participate in remain just that—private—and are not used as a bridge for work-related grievances.

I look forward to finding a community that values the same respect and boundaries that I have always extended to others.

Best wishes,
