What I'm looking for
I am an all-rounded, energetic, and ambitious individual with over 7 years of clinical research experience. Currently, I serve as a Lead Data Manager (LDM) on the AMGEN FSP, focusing on oncology and hematology studies. My role involves independently managing data management services for global clinical research projects, leading communication, project execution, and oversight with both internal and external team members. I ensure that customer requirements are met with high standards of care, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in all aspects of my work.
In addition to my role as a Data Team Lead, I mentor and coach other Data Team Leads, sharing my expertise in database lock, early site closure, and final lock phases. My extensive experience includes coordinating clinic flow, quality control, regulatory compliance, and study implementation for numerous HIV vaccine and COVID-19 clinical trials. I possess in-depth knowledge of clinical research regulatory requirements, including Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines, which I apply diligently to ensure compliance and quality in all my projects.
