Message

At ICON, I manage clinical trial operations, including U.S. Phase I–III oncology trials across 40+ sites, with oversight of timelines, site performance, risk mitigation, and budgets. I’ve also supported a clinical program that received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation.

As a Senior Clinical Trial Manager and U.S. Country Lead, I develop enrollment plans and work with sites, CRAs, and external partners on recruitment. I oversee vendor collaboration supporting genomic testing and precision medicine programs.

Earlier at ICON, I coordinated investigative-site activities as a Senior Clinical Research Associate, supporting protocol compliance and data quality. I also mentored newly recruited and less experienced CRAs on sponsor systems and processes.
