What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to clinical trial operations through coordinated study delivery, accurate documentation, data integrity, quality-focused review, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.

I've managed an independent multi-year oncology research project at Stellenbosch University, coordinating timelines, data collection, analysis, documentation, risk identification, and scientific reporting. My work applies 2D and 3D spheroid and patient-derived tumour models in translational oncology.

I'm ICH-GCP and South African GCP trained and bring careful study tracking, data integrity, quality review, and cross-functional coordination to clinical research operations. I've published two first-author peer-reviewed articles and presented research at national and international conferences.
