Clinical Data Manager with 9 years' lead experience in complex trials and regulatory data delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am a Clinical Data Manager with extensive experience leading data management from study setup through database lock across Phase I–III trials and multiple therapeutic areas. I specialize in developing data management documentation, CDASH standards, and SDTM review to ensure clean, regulatory-ready datasets.
My technical strengths include working with Inform, Medidata Rave, and Spotfire, plus hands-on experience coordinating external data transfers, reconciliations, and medical coding review. I also program reports in EDC and support SAS troubleshooting to meet operational and reporting needs.
I have led teams, mentored staff, and overseen third-party data providers, contributing to process optimization, tool development for data cleaning and visualization, and project-specific best practices. I have coordinated timelines for regulatory deliverables such as SRC, DSUR, IB, and IND submissions.
Driven and adaptive, I bring a track record of managing complex device and drug trials across cardiovascular, oncology, ophthalmology, neurology, infectious disease, gastrointestinal, and psychiatric areas, with a focus on data quality, compliance, and timely delivery.
