Experiences & Accomplishments
I have 7 years of research coordination experience over several research opportunities, including NIH-funded multicenter clinical trials. I have experience providing statistical analysis and technical writing for manuscripts, writing grant renewals, managing IRB submissions, and managing other research staff in data collection activities. I have been a member of the data coordinating center teams for trials in liver and digestive diseases (Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network, Gastroparesis Clinical Research Consortium) and the lead research coordinator for observational studies in childhood obesity. In addition to my data coordinating and research coordinator experience, I have been a teaching assistant for biostatistics and data management courses, both of which involve consulting with students on biostatistical analysis projects.
