What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and supports my growth in clinical research.

I am a detail-oriented clinical research professional with a robust background in regulatory coordination, essential document management, and effective site communication. My experience spans across various roles in clinical research, where I have honed my skills in ensuring compliance with both global and local regulations. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to drive study startup activities and meet project timelines.

At IQVIA, I excelled as a Regulatory Coordinator - Startup Specialist, where I managed essential regulatory documents, coordinated ICF handling, and ensured timely regulatory submissions. My proactive approach to project support and communication has enabled me to maintain high standards of quality oversight and audit readiness. Previously, at Koncord Clinical Research, I oversaw the preparation of submission documents for regulatory authorities, ensuring accuracy and compliance throughout the study lifecycle.

With a Master's degree in Biotechnology and a Diploma in Clinical Research and Clinical Data Management, I am committed to leveraging my expertise to support the successful execution of clinical studies from start-up through close-out. I am eager to contribute to a dynamic team that values innovation and excellence in clinical research.
