What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a clinical research nursing role where I can deliver patient-centred study care, ensure ICH-GCP compliance via source data review and SAE reporting, strengthen quality assurance, and grow within well-structured multicenter research programs.

I’m a Research Nurse with more than 3 years of working experience, including 2 years’ hands-on clinical trials and observational study work as a Senior Study Nurse. Besides my delegated role as a study Nurse, I also do quality assurance activities, bringing a detail-oriented, flexible approach to participant care and study compliance.

I’m passionate about clinical research and bring strong understanding of ICH GCP, human subjects’ protection, regulatory requirements, SOP design, collection and reporting of SAEs, and source data review and verification. Across projects at Kenya Medical Research Institute and Pwani Research Centre, I’ve screened, consented, enrolled, conducted study visits, managed CRFs, resolved queries, performed source data review, documented informed consent, ensured timely adverse event reporting, supported sample collection, and maintained confidentiality—alongside earlier general nursing care through Ruai Family Hospital.
