Independent Clinical Research Consultant/SCRA
With 23 years of industry experience, including 21 years working as a SCRA/CRA, I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked across many therapeutic areas, in several capacities. I’ve worked primarily as a SCRA for mid to large-sized CRO’s in Australia and spent 9 years (from 2012 to 2021) working as a SCRA in North America. I've periodically taken on other roles such as a GCP auditor, staff mentor/trainer and PM and have led CRA teams, presented at bid defence meetings and contributed to the composition of study protocols and other essential trial document guidelines.
​
After obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Biology/Biotechnology, I soon found myself working within the same department where I earned that qualification, as a Study Coordinator. This all-encompassing role provided me the valuable experience I needed to transition into a CRA role, very soon after joining my first CRO. The CRA role has certainly evolved over the years, and though I’ve dabbled in other positions, it’s always been the role that’s provided me with the most workplace satisfaction.
​
I've been involved in all aspects of the clinical trial life-cycle, from feasibility and site evaluation for trial participation through to the monitoring of sites involved with late phase safety surveillance.
