Senior Clinical Trial Associate with expertise in regulatory compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Senior Clinical Trial Associate with extensive experience in overseeing clinical trials and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. My recent role at Arcturus Therapeutics involved supporting a Japanese health authority inspection, which contributed to the approval of a global Phase III trial for a COVID-19 vaccine in Vietnam. My commitment to maintaining high-quality standards is reflected in my oversight of eTMF inspection readiness activities and my contributions to regulatory filing submissions.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, as seen during my tenure at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, where I led a team of data analysts in developing interim monitoring reports for a Phase III study. My analytical skills were further honed at Alvarez & Marsal, where I assisted in restructuring clinical operations for a Fortune 500 company, showcasing my ability to drive operational efficiency and cost savings.
