What I'm looking for

I am a Clinical Data Manager with extensive experience in managing databases and ensuring the accurate collection of key information. My proficiency in industry-standard computer programs and applications has enabled me to specialize in cost-effective data management procedures. I have successfully coordinated international data teams and streamlined workflows to enhance data collection efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have implemented innovative solutions, such as a risk-based monitoring approach that significantly reduced on-site monitoring costs while maintaining data quality. I take pride in mentoring junior data managers, advocating for strict adherence to data protection standards, and pioneering the use of CDISC standards to improve data submission consistency.

With a strong background in clinical research and regulatory affairs, I am committed to ensuring compliance with regulations such as GDPR and FDA guidelines. My goal is to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to impactful clinical studies and drive data excellence in the healthcare industry.
