What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that foster growth in clinical research, emphasizing collaboration and innovation.

As a dedicated and aspiring clinical researcher, I am currently pursuing my M.S. in Clinical Research Organization and Management at Drexel University, building on my dual B.S. degrees in Biochemistry & Biophysics and Psychological Sciences from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of the scientific principles that underpin clinical research, alongside practical skills in project management and regulatory compliance.

In my recent role as a Portfolio Selector at Givaudan, I successfully managed technical projects and collaborated cross-functionally to optimize ingredient performance, ensuring that customer requirements were met with precision. My previous experience as a Quality Control Analyst honed my analytical skills, where I performed various quality assessments and produced technical documentation to enhance customer satisfaction. I thrive in environments that challenge my problem-solving abilities and allow me to contribute to innovative solutions in the clinical research field.
