What I'm looking for

I seek a senior clinical data role where I can lead data management teams, ensure regulatory-compliant, high-quality datasets, collaborate cross-functionally, mentor staff, and optimize data workflows for impactful clinical research.

I am a Senior Clinical Data Manager with over six years of experience leading data management operations across oncology, rare disease, pulmonology, and infectious disease studies. I design and validate EDC systems, develop data management plans and SOPs, and lead cross-functional teams to deliver accurate, audit-ready clinical datasets in compliance with FDA, ICH, and GCP.

I have a proven track record mentoring junior staff, coordinating vendor activities, and managing end-to-end data processes from database setup through database lock. My strengths include data validation, reporting and visualization, risk mitigation, and ensuring data privacy and security aligned with GDPR and HIPAA requirements.
