What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a clinical research role where I can support compliant oncology trials end-to-end—patient consenting, study operations, and real-time documentation—while partnering with teams to strengthen quality, regulatory accuracy, and smooth patient experiences.

I’m a Clinical Research Coordinator with experience supporting oncology clinical trials across major academic centers, including overseeing trial activity at the John Theurer Cancer Center. I handle patient consenting for minimal risk studies, facilitate specimen collection, and support study amendments and regulatory processes while keeping quality control and quality checks on track.

Previously, I managed day-to-day study operations for approximately 45 clinical trials, ensuring patient visit schedules met study requirements and maintaining accurate documentation by updating CRFs, EDC, and CTMS in real time. I also advanced from Care Coordinator I to Care Coordinator II, where I managed clinic flow, coordinated interpreters, and served as a liaison between patients and clinical teams to support smooth, high-quality care.
