Background

About Ruby Bernal

I am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Bioactivity of Natural and Synthetic Products at Valparaíso University, where I am deepening my understanding of compounds that promote and restore public health. The program’s three core research areas—Chemistry of Bioactive Products, Bioactivity Assessment, and Technology Transfer—are perfectly aligned with my passion for advancing accessible and effective medicines. This academic journey complements my professional mission to help build a healthier world by integrating scientific research, pharmaceutical innovation, and quality systems. With over a decade of experience in GMP manufacturing and more than six years in Quality Assurance, I have led impactful initiatives such as implementing a risk-based internal audit program and ensuring GMP audit readiness for agencies including ANVISA, INVIMA, and COFEPRIS. I have actively contributed to FDA and ISP inspections, driven continuous improvement projects, and successfully aligned compliance efforts with broader business goals. Beyond technical excellence, I bring a strategic and people-centered approach to my work. I’ve worked with cross-functional teams, developed client-focused solutions, and enhanced visibility for specialized services through marketing and process optimization. Currently, I contribute to an engineering consulting firm that supports mining operations by optimizing processes and managing water and tailings, helping solve critical challenges with innovative, sustainable solutions. My goal is to continue evolving at the intersection of science, health, and innovation—creating environments where excellence, collaboration, and impact thrive.
