What I'm looking for

I seek a patient-focused research or clinical role where I can apply my regulatory, IP management, and advocacy experience, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and support study integrity and patient outcomes.

I am a seasoned healthcare professional with over 25 years of medical experience and an Associate Degree in Nursing. I bring strong patient advocacy, outstanding interpersonal skills, and extensive experience across clinical research, long-term care, and outpatient settings.

As a Clinical Research Coordinator, I have coordinated studies from screening through close-out, managed investigational product (IP) logistics, maintained regulatory and training documentation, and collaborated closely with physicians and sponsors across multiple sites.

I have owned and operated small businesses and training programs, including a CNA test-prep institute and a vacation rental service, developing educational materials, delivering instruction, and managing operations and customer relations.

I am detail-oriented, proficient with electronic medical records and Microsoft Office, and experienced with oncology research systems (ONCO, G4). I am motivated to apply my clinical and research expertise to support patient-centered care and study integrity.
