What I'm looking for

I am seeking a regulatory/study start-up role where I can lead site activation, ensure compliance, and improve processes within collaborative teams.

I am an experienced Clinical Research Associate with over ten years in clinical research, specializing in study start-up activities, site monitoring, IRB submissions, and regulatory compliance. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies with a concentration in Healthcare and I'm SOCRA-certified.

Throughout my career I have managed site activation through closeout, ensured Trial Master File quality, customized informed consent and amendments, and supported sponsor and functional service provider engagements. I have led regulatory submissions, investigator site selection, feasibility assessments, and problem resolution to keep studies on track and compliant with ICH-GCP and local regulations.

I am recognized for executing clinical studies with first-time quality, cultivating relationships with investigators and study teams, and driving process improvement initiatives that reduce risk and improve operational efficiency.
