@ansharahahmed
I lead remote clinical trial startup and monitoring across multisite studies.
What I'm looking for
At Orca Trial LLC, I lead remote site startup and monitoring for 4–7 concurrent neurology, dermatology, and oncology study sites. I drive site activation through PSV and SIV oversight, CDA/NDA execution, IRB/EC submissions, regulatory tracking, and audit-ready eTMF and EDC documentation.
I've progressed from Clinical Research Executive to Clinical Research Associate and Team Lead, supporting feasibility, site identification, remote monitoring visits, source data verification, protocol-deviation tracking, and sponsor-site communication. I also mentor junior CRCs on monitoring readiness, protocol adherence, and GCP requirements.
My clinical research background includes supporting the Livzon Booster Vaccine trial at IBBPS, Dow University of Health Sciences, and independently monitoring polio vaccination teams through the WHO/Pakistan EPI Programme. These experiences strengthened my focus on source documentation, compliance oversight, field monitoring, and daily gap reporting.
Alongside clinical research, I've conducted biotechnology research in algal culture, statistical analysis, and spectroscopy, and developed a registered industrial design for an algae-based bioreactor. I'm seeking remote CRA opportunities or visa-sponsored roles where I can support compliant, efficient clinical trial delivery.
