Adaptable and accomplished professional, transitioning from a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine background to explore opportunities in biotechnology. Currently serving as Operations Manager for a multi-specialty medical corporation, I bring a wealth of experience in leading complex healthcare initiatives. Previously, I played a pivotal role in the success of FDA clinical research trials for four years, contributing to advancements in medical treatments. With a strong foundation in direct patient care and extensive experience in coordinating pharmaceutical trials focused on improving chronic conditions, I possess a unique blend of clinical expertise and research acumen.
Throughout my almost four years in my current operations role, I have honed my skills in multitasking, prioritization, and fostering cross-functional collaboration. Fluent in Spanish and Farsi/Dari, I embrace diversity and leverage my language abilities to enhance patient care and communication. My journey from medical student to my current position has been characterized by continuous growth, and the challenges I have overcome have provided me with invaluable experience and shaped me into a resilient and adaptable professional.
