KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a self-driven research clinician and clinical research associate with extensive experience coordinating clinical trials, site management, and patient care within Kenyan research programs. I have participated in pharmacokinetic, pediatric oncology, maternal-newborn, and women's health studies, contributing to study implementation and manuscript preparation.
My strengths include study start-up activities, regulatory submissions, SOP and CRF development, REDCap data entry, site monitoring (SIVs, MVs, COVs), and ensuring adherence to ICH-GCP and ethics requirements. I routinely manage clinical supplies, sample collection and shipment, monitoring visit reports, and training of site staff.
I value collaborative teams and evidence-driven care, and I have co-authored publications on retinoblastoma and vincristine exposure in Kenyan children with cancer. I am motivated to join a dynamic health program focused on mitigating adverse health outcomes.
