Michelle Orlere
@michelleorlere
Clinical Research Associate with 8+ years leading risk-based monitoring and audit-ready eTMF oversight across global Phase I–III trials.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Clinical Research Associate with 8+ years of progressive experience across CRO environments, advancing from CTA to Senior CRA level. I support Phase I–III global clinical trials across oncology, CNS, cardiovascular, and infectious disease indications, with a strong compliance-first mindset grounded in ICH-GCP and FDA expectations.
My specialty is risk-based monitoring (RBM), SDV/SDR, and site lifecycle management (SIV–COV), plus eTMF completeness and quality. I’ve led efforts that improve site compliance, accelerate enrollment, and maintain inspection-ready documentation—driving measurable outcomes like reducing unnecessary SDV effort by 20% and cutting repeat deviations by 25%.
I’m also hands-on with clinical systems and data workflows, including Medidata Rave, Oracle Inform, and Veeva Vault eTMF. I collaborate closely with CTMs and Data Management to keep studies on track for database lock readiness, and I mentor junior CRAs to strengthen monitoring consistency and report quality.
