About

I am a Project Manager with a diverse background in Supplier Quality Management, eCOA clinical studies, and GCLP compliance, currently working at Johnson & Johnson. With a foundation in Bioengineering and Economics, I bring a unique mix of technical expertise and business acumen to every project I manage.

I collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Procurement, and Business teams to create quality agreements, track performance metrics, and ensure compliance with industry standards. My ability to maintain strong supplier relationships and manage risk proactively has helped deliver operational excellence and contribute to key business objectives. My previous experience at Clario as a Project Manager involved managing eCOA clinical studies, where I demonstrated strong problem-solving skills, coordinating cross-disciplinary teams to meet deadlines and ensure the success of clinical trials. I gained invaluable experience working in a highly regulated environment, managing project timelines, and fostering effective communication between internal and external stakeholders. In addition, my time at Eurofins honed my knowledge of GCLP (Good Clinical Laboratory Practice), which has strengthened my ability to maintain high standards in clinical research and laboratory environments, ensuring compliance and delivering accurate, reliable results. I thrive on learning and love the challenge of managing and mentoring teams. My passion for team development and collaboration has allowed me to lead teams with a focus on continuous improvement and innovation, driving high performance and fostering a positive work culture.
