What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in clinical research.

I am a clinical research professional with over 6 years of experience in both site-level and sponsor-level clinical research. My work has been driven by a deep understanding of the challenges in translating research advances into clinical practice and novel treatments. I am dedicated to improving patients' quality of life through my contributions in clinical research.

Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in managing electronic Trial Master Files (eTMF), overseeing clinical supply, and locking multiple databases concurrently. My organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills have allowed me to collaborate effectively across various functions, including Data Management, Quality Assurance, and Regulatory Affairs. I am proficient in both English and Spanish, which enhances my ability to work in diverse environments.

In my most recent role as a Clinical Operations Manager, I successfully managed day-to-day clinical trial operations, led cross-functional teams, and developed risk management plans to address potential study challenges. I am passionate about ensuring compliance and operational excellence in clinical trials, and I continuously seek to apply lessons learned across studies to improve processes.
