About Me
- I am a thirty-something professional living in San Francisco with a loving husband and two silly little yorkshire terrier, dogs. I grew up in North Carolina and stayed to complete University then studied abroad in Leeds, Northern England. I have 10+ years of Phase I-IV clinical operations experience in a variety
of therapeutic areas for trials in the US, Canada, South America, and Europe. I have gained expertise as a Clinical Site Manager, Regional Clinical Research Associate, and Clinical
Data Manager for a mix of large and small pharmaceutical companies and CROs.
- The Lead CRA Gets a Promotion: Clinical Program Manager
- After qualifying as a finalist and Bronze recipient of the
Pharmatimes 2010 US Clinical Researcher of The Year new CRA/Site Manager award I was promoted to a Clinical Program Manager role at a wonderful small CNS company in the Bay Area. My primary focus is now trial level management as opposed to site level management but I do still have the opportunity to occasionally travel to sites and work with our monitoring staff. I oversee the activities of several clinical trial support vendors and Junior CRAs. You can read more about my bio and career progression here.
