About
As a dedicated professional, with a
Ph.D. in Kinesiology (concentration in
cognitive and motor neuroscience), 9
years of clinical research, and 4
years of experience in clinical
trials, I will bring a wealth of
expertise to your team. I am adept at
navigating the clinical research
process, from study design to
regulatory compliance, setup to close
out. My organizational skills,
attention to detail, adaptability,
excellent verbal and written
communication, and teamwork ensure
seamless project management. I
flourish in a fast-paced, changing
environment as a resourceful and
responsible leader and team member.
Moreover, strong project management
skills allow me to handle multiple
tasks efficiently, even under tight
deadlines. My ability to dissect
complex clinical data and translate it
into clear, concise language for
varying levels of personnel and
clients is a hallmark of my work.
Furthermore, my organizational finesse
allows me to manage competing
priorities effectively with excellent
budget management. I have navigated
the intricacies of ICH-GCP and the
regulatory landscapes of the US, and
the EU and successfully obtained an
IND submission approval with the FDA.
I thrive in collaborative
environments, seamlessly coordinating
and communicating with
cross-functional teams and internal
and external stakeholders nationally
and internationally. My agile
approach, positive attitude, meeting
timelines, and ability to work
independently equip me to contribute
to the success of our team.
