About

Professional summary

I am a Principal Clinical Research Associate with extensive experience supporting medical device and pharmaceutical clinical trials. My background centers on site monitoring, GCP and SOP compliance, data integrity, patient safety, and audit readiness.

I have worked across the full clinical study lifecycle, including site initiation, interim monitoring, and closeout. I have also supported study start-up activities such as CSA and budget agreements, informed consent preparation, and IRB submissions.

A major part of my work has involved maintaining and auditing study master files and eTMF systems, especially in Veeva Vault. I have also reviewed monitoring reports, supported inspection preparation, and helped ensure studies remained compliant and inspection-ready.

I am experienced in identifying, documenting, and following up on adverse events, as well as supporting regulatory reporting and clinical study documentation. I have contributed to clinical study reports, ClinicalTrials.gov updates, and other external submissions.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with internal clinical teams, CROs, sites, IRBs, and regulatory stakeholders. I am known for being detail-oriented, reliable, flexible, and effective in cross-functional communication.

I also enjoy mentoring and training other CRAs. I have consistently supported less experienced team members by reviewing monitoring reports, sharing knowledge, and helping strengthen clinical operations execution.
