I have worked in clinical trial operations for both an academic institution and a CRO for a number of years. Currently my main duties and responsibilities are focused on managing a large team of temporary laboratory technicians (zero hour contracts), as well as contract scientific staff and managers over multiple sites.

I manage a team holding samples under a HTA licence, write and review COSHH and risk assessments, and support communication with other divisions within the company. I have excellent records of client service, resource gap analysis, project management, group expansion and have taken part in a number of internal and external audits including those conducted by our QA division, the MHRA and HTA. I am comfortable multi-tasking and work well under pressure whilst being exposed to a variety of daily challenges.
