What I'm looking for

I’m ready to return full-time to clinical operations.

At Fortrea, I directed global clinical trials from start-up through close-out, leading 35 CRAs across 40+ sites. I delivered complex studies across 20 sites ahead of schedule and within budget.

I cut site activation timelines by 20–25% across 15 global sites through process improvements and proactive feasibility strategies. Targeted training and monitoring strategies raised site compliance scores by 30%.

As a Clinical Trial Manager at Fortrea, I reduced overall trial costs by $2 million through resourcing, budget, and vendor management. I also grew patient enrollment across 18 global sites with targeted recruitment and retention strategies.

Earlier, I monitored Phase I–III studies at Covance, PRA International, and Quintiles, including oncology trials. My clinical operations experience is supported by an MBChB and an MBA.
