What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated Clinical Research Associate with extensive experience in neurology, oncology, and infectious disease studies. My journey in clinical research began in 2013, and since then, I have honed my skills in site management, communication, and compliance with regulatory guidelines. At Novartis, I have been responsible for ensuring the accuracy of data clarification forms and maintaining effective communication among team members and site staff.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed site performance and facilitated study start-up activities. My previous roles at Scian allowed me to develop a strong foundation in clinical trial management, where I coordinated activities between associates and investigators to ensure compliance with study protocols. I pride myself on my ability to build strong relationships with site coordinators and investigators, which has been key to my success in delivering high-quality clinical research outcomes.
