What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can lead clinical projects or medical affairs initiatives, drive evidence generation, work cross-functionally in a compliant, collaborative culture, and grow into larger strategic responsibilities.

I am a medical science liaison and clinical project lead with a strong background in designing and coordinating multicentre clinical and observational studies across dermatology, rare diseases, endocrinology and women’s health. I combine scientific rigor with operational oversight, ensuring GCP, EFSA and EMA compliance while driving evidence generation.

I have led vendor and CRO oversight, ethics committee submissions, protocol and CRF development, and budget tracking for investigator-initiated and non-interventional studies, contributing to study reports, abstracts and scientific posters for national and international conferences.

I bring practical experience with Veeva Vault, Salesforce and eTMF processes, a Master's in Molecular Oncology and an MBA in the pharmaceutical industry, and I am focused on delivering high-quality clinical operations, cross-functional coordination and audit-ready study execution.
