What I'm looking for

I’m eager to explore career possibilities and have an open-sky mindset. My broad clinical and trials background gives me excellent organisational, communication and systems skills and I’m a motivated and independent learner.

I’m a Registered Nurse and Clinical Trials Research Coordinator (Intensive Care) with varied clinical experience and strong capability in clinical practice, regulatory requirements, and healthcare data environments. I’m currently based in Orange, NSW.

In my current role, I coordinate clinical trials in line with protocols, SOPs, and governance requirements, ensuring ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP) compliance across the full project lifecycle. I translate real-world clinical practice into structured documentation, workflows, and data systems, maintaining trial master files, participant information and consent forms, and case report forms while collaborating across multidisciplinary stakeholders.

I also bring hands-on ICU nursing expertise, delivering high-acuity care that requires precise documentation and clinical decision-making. I’m developing capability in clinical informatics with foundational knowledge of openEHR clinical modelling methodology and FHIR standards, and I’m committed to building a long-term career in clinical informatics while advancing skills in clinical data environments.
