About

Dedicated and detail-oriented professional with a strong background in clinical research, clinical laboratory science, regulatory compliance, and a commitment to patient care. I bring a wealth of experience to the clinical research industry, with previous specializations in Dermatology, Wild-Type Amyloidosis, Neuromuscular Disorders, Diabetes, Endocrinology, and non-invasive, cell-free DNA testing Biotechnology, with a particular focus on Womens Health in Clinical Genetic Molecular Diagnostics. My professional journey encompasses roles as an experienced clinical researcher, assistant medical laboratory scientist, and entrepreneur with 4 years of customer service support. Having successfully completed the master's version of the first year's LCME-accredited medical school curriculum, I have honed critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills through problem-based, self-directed, and team-based learning. This experience has laid a robust foundation for understanding every body system, enriching my capabilities as a professional in the clinical research trials industry. I am currently pursuing an MBA in Healthcare Management, which is exposing me to various healthcare operation models. I am actively seeking new opportunities where I can apply this knowledge and grow professionally. I am particularly interested in joining a company that supports professional development by encouraging advanced education and providing opportunities to gain hands-on management experience. I am eager to implement new strategies and procedures to enhance efficiency and outcomes, with the support of leadership to practice what I learn. With a proven track record of coordinating diverse studies and enhancing standard operating procedures, I am confident in my ability to bring valuable insights and improvements to any team. Let's connect if you are looking for a proactive and growth-oriented professional ready to make a significant impact! --- Kindly, Trey Quintanilla, MS
