Summary

Senior Clinical Research Professional with nearly 20 years of experience in clinical research and public health. I began my career at the World Health Organization’s National Influenza Center under the Russian Ministry of Health, supporting national infectious disease surveillance and response.

Since 2018, I’ve expanded my expertise in the U.S. as a Clinical Research Coordinator and Start-Up Manager, overseeing a wide range of industry-sponsored trials across therapeutic areas including CNS, GI, OB/GYN, vaccines, hematology, and rheumatology. I’ve contributed to high-impact COVID-19 vaccine trials for Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and Novavax—three of which led to FDA approvals.

Detail-oriented and dependable, I bring strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a commitment to patient care and safety. Skilled at managing high-pressure environments, I consistently deliver high-quality, reliable data while ensuring compliance with GCP and ICH guidelines. Passionate about advancing medical knowledge, I aim to support innovation and improve patient outcomes through excellence in clinical trial execution and oversight.
