Research Scientist

I’m a clinical development leader with 20+ years of experience spanning clinical operations, data management, and program strategy across CROs, sponsors, and biotech startups. My career has been defined by bridging science, systems, and people to deliver smarter, faster, and more patient-centered trials.

I’ve led data strategy and execution for over 300 clinical studies across neurology, immunology, cardiovascular, respiratory, oncology and device indications—from first-in-human through NDA. I specialize in EDC optimization, risk-based monitoring, CRO oversight, and cross-functional team alignment. Whether building data infrastructures from the ground up or rescuing complex portfolios, I lead with a practical, tech-savvy, and outcomes-focused mindset.

Currently, I serve as Data Management consultant at an innovative biotech, where I support early-phase rare disease neurology programs and regulatory milestone delivery. I oversee data architecture, vendor governance, and cross-functional data strategy across safety, efficacy, and exploratory endpoints.

Above all, I believe the future of drug development lies in purposeful data, transparent collaboration, and bold thinking that transforms challenges into opportunity.
