Therese Mathew
@theresemathew
I coordinate operations, executive support, events, clinical research, and workflow automation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I currently support Saint Agatha–Saint James Parish and the Newman Catholic Community by maintaining confidential sacramental records, preparing official certificates, and coordinating calendars, schedules, events, and communications.
I help keep parish and campus-ministry operations running smoothly for students and community members, working closely with priests and staff to ensure timely information-sharing and organized event execution.
Previously, I managed daily operations for a pancreatic cancer research project at the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine, including participant screening, informed consent, specimen processing, study documentation, and enrollment reporting. My clinical research experience also includes REDCap, Epic workflows, IRB support, telehealth scheduling, and research-startup coordination.
In a part-time automation consulting role, I designed and maintained n8n workflows with Microsoft Copilot-assisted development, reducing recurring administrative work by more than 10 hours per week. I bring organized, confidential, and practical support to teams that need stronger processes and reliable coordination.
