What I'm looking for

I seek clinical project management roles in regulated biotech/pharma environments where I can lead Phase II studies, drive regulatory compliance, collaborate with KOLs, and grow in clinical operations and scientific strategy.

I am a pharmacist with a Master’s in Biomedicine and over five years of pharmaceutical industry experience focused on clinical trials and study management.

I have managed Phase IIb and Phase I studies, coordinated multiple Phase II cardiovascular trials, and overseen operational activities including eTMF QC, monitoring report review, KPI trackers, and vendor management.

My background includes laboratory research in RNA editing and CRISPR-Cas9, contributions to publications, and hands-on roles in patient selection using AI and clinical data analysis, demonstrating both scientific and clinical operational strengths.

I bring strong regulatory documentation skills, CTMS and Veeva Vault proficiency, autonomy, and effective collaboration with investigators and KOLs to drive compliant, high-quality clinical research.
