What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in clinical research, with opportunities for professional growth and impactful patient engagement.

I am a dedicated Clinical Research professional with over 5 years of experience in multidisciplinary clinical studies focused on mental health, substance use, and rehabilitation. My expertise lies in Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Institutional Review Board (IRB) compliance, and patient recruitment, ensuring protocol adherence and data integrity throughout various study phases.

Currently, I am involved in designing and implementing innovative brain stimulation protocols for substance use disorder participants, leading EEG data acquisition and analysis, and securing external funding for research initiatives. My commitment to advancing clinical understanding through rigorous research methodologies has been demonstrated through successful grant applications and collaborative efforts with multidisciplinary teams.

With a strong background in technical writing and outreach, I have effectively communicated complex research findings to diverse stakeholders, enhancing public awareness and fostering engagement in clinical trials. I am passionate about improving patient outcomes and dedicated to contributing to the field of neuro-rehabilitation.
