What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative environment, and the chance to lead impactful clinical projects.

I am a Clinical Research Professional and Certified Clinical Data Associate (CCDA) with over 4 years of experience in supporting multi-phase clinical trials, particularly in oncology and gastrointestinal indications. My journey in clinical research has equipped me with a strong foundation in site-level trial coordination, ensuring data integrity, protocol compliance, and meticulous regulatory documentation.

Currently, I serve as the Lead Clinical Research Coordinator for a pivotal Phase IV colorectal cancer study, where I manage study transitions and oversee post-marketing data collection. My role involves coordinating with sponsors and CROs to ensure milestone tracking and database readiness while maintaining audit-ready documentation. I am passionate about leveraging my project management and cross-functional collaboration skills to contribute to a Project Leader role within a global CRO setting.
