What I'm looking for

I am looking for CRA or clinical operations roles where I can apply GCP knowledge, CRM-driven coordination skills, stakeholder management, and grow into clinical project leadership.

I am a motivated professional transitioning into Clinical Research Associate roles, leveraging over seven years of experience in sales, business development, and project management. I hold ICH GCP E6 (R2) training and completed an ~80-hour Clinical Research Associate program at VIARES Academy.

My background includes international sales management, team leadership, CRM use (Salesforce, Bitrix24), and delivering process improvements that drove measurable performance gains, such as reducing ramp-up time by 30% and increasing sales performance. I bring strong communication, relationship management, time management, and problem-solving skills directly applicable to clinical trial coordination and site management.

I seek to apply my operational rigor, stakeholder management experience, and regulatory training to support clinical trial operations, ensure data integrity, and promote patient safety while continuing to grow in the clinical research field.
