I am a research professional with experience in clinical research coordination, neuroscience, data analysis, and research operations. My background includes managing clinical trials, coordinating participant recruitment and study logistics, ensuring regulatory compliance, and collecting and analyzing psychophysiological data. I have experience with R, SPSS, Qualtrics, EDC systems, EEG/ERP, HRV, and eye-tracking. I enjoy problem-solving, improving research processes, mentoring team members, and translating scientific findings into meaningful outcomes. I am interested in applying my analytical and technical background to business and customer-facing roles, such as customer success, business analysis, and data analytics, while remaining open to opportunities in clinical and behavioral research.
