Clinical operations leader driving enrollment, site performance, and inspection-ready multicenter trials.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a clinical operations leader with extensive sponsor and CRO experience managing complex, multicenter trials across stem cell therapy, neurovascular, rare disease, metabolic, and gastrointestinal areas. I hold multiple advanced degrees in Pharmaceutical Science (Drug Development), Health Informatics, and Genetics, and I deliver inspection-ready programs that accelerate enrollment and strengthen site performance.
I have led end-to-end trial execution for programs spanning 90+ sites and 400+ patients, overseen Phase I/II programs in wound care, and built institutional research programs and SOPs that improved data integrity and publication output. My strengths include cross-functional coordination with Medical Monitoring, Data Management, Biostatistics, Regulatory, and QA, vendor selection and oversight, budget and contract management, and DSMB governance.
I am results-oriented and patient-centric, with a track record of developing retention strategies that reduced withdrawals, driving prescreen improvements, authoring clinical study documentation, and contributing to peer-reviewed publications with measurable academic impact.
