What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated clinical research professional with over 11 years of progressive experience across academia, the NHS, and industry settings. My commitment to accelerating access to innovative medicines drives my work, and I have developed a strong expertise in global and regional Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products (CTIMPs) and observational studies. I excel in study start-up, regulatory and ethics approvals, feasibility assessments, and patient recruitment strategies, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within scope.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led cross-functional teams and implemented effective monitoring plans, quality assurance processes, and project control measures. My experience includes significant therapeutic areas such as oncology and rare diseases, where I have developed site selection strategies and patient retention plans that have proven effective in various trials. I take pride in mentoring junior team members and continuously improving internal processes to enhance project outcomes.
