What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for professional growth and collaboration in a dynamic environment.

With over 5 years of experience in clinical research, I have developed a strong expertise in regulatory start-up and site contract negotiations. My career has been dedicated to ensuring compliance with EU regulations and facilitating smooth communication between stakeholders. I have successfully led the site activation process, managed regulatory submissions, and negotiated contracts, all while maintaining a focus on efficiency and stakeholder alignment.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including ERGOMED and IQVIA, where I acted as the Single Point of Contact for investigative sites. My role involved preparing and managing regulatory submissions, overseeing essential document tracking, and ensuring audit-ready documentation. I take pride in my ability to identify gaps in workflows and contribute to process improvement initiatives that enhance study start-up timelines.

My educational background includes a Clinical Trial Assistant certification and a law degree, which complements my professional experience. I am fluent in multiple languages, allowing me to navigate diverse environments and communicate effectively with international teams. I am passionate about advancing clinical research and am committed to maintaining high-quality standards in all aspects of my work.
