Summary
I am an ACRP-certified clinical research professional with 23 years of extensive experience across a wide range of roles, including Clinical Research Coordinator, Regulatory Specialist, Billing and Contract Specialist, Research Office Manager, Clinical Research Associate, and Senior Local Enrollment Specialist/Manager. Throughout my career, I have coordinated over 40 clinical trials spanning Phases 2 through 4 in therapeutic areas such as Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Geriatrics, Endocrinology, Pulmonology, Oncology, and Primary Care.
My journey in clinical research began in 2002 as a Clinical Research Coordinator at Bethesda Health Research Center and Bone Health Center. In 2004, I was promoted to Research Office Manager, where I led cross-functional collaboration, resolved operational challenges, and managed budgets, contracts, and proposals to align with departmental research goals.
In 2008, while working as a Senior Clinical Research Coordinator at Centennial Medical Research Center, I earned my Certified Clinical Research Coordinator (CCRC) designation from ACRP. I received my B.S. in Nursing from Our Lady of Fatima University in Valenzuela, Philippines, in 1993, and I maintain current ICH-GCP certifications annually through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative.
Most recently, I graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Management—an academic achievement that reflects my dedication to continuous growth and leadership development in clinical research.
With a strong foundation in both clinical operations and management, I bring a deep understanding of research protocols, regulatory compliance, and patient-centered recruitment strategies. I remain committed to the highest standards of integrity and quality, and I’m passionate about advancing clinical research to improve patient outcomes.
