What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can coordinate multi-stakeholder projects, ensure compliance in research workflows, and provide superior project management skills.

I coordinate large, multi-site public health efforts end to end, especially where compliance and data integrity matter. As a Senior Professional Research Assistant, I served as the central operational coordinator and primary stakeholder point of contact for a longitudinal, multi-site project.

I manage complex timelines and cross-functional collaboration in virtual settings, including planning and supporting multi-stakeholder annual advisory board meetings and workshops. I also handle budgets and vendor payment tracking in accordance with federal guidelines, while maintaining meticulous data records in shared cloud drives.

On the program side, I acted as a Technical Assistance Coordinator on a federal cooperative agreement program. I reviewed complex documentation to ensure compliance with defined program criteria, led semi-annual conference calls, and created data tracking forms, matrices, reports, schedules, and email templates to streamline team workflow.

My background also includes public health program support through data collection, analysis, and reporting as a Public Health Fellow, using qualitative and quantitative analyses and producing data visualizations for stakeholders. I bring strong tooling fluency—Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and platforms like Qualtrics XM, SPSS, and NVivo—along with a reliable, discreet approach to sensitive participant information.
