WORK EXPERIENCE

Succinct outline of my work history:

I have a polyvalent professional background (over a decade of cross sectional clinical trial knowledge working crossly with clinical trial subject matter experts, managing pharmaceutical companies’ request for proposals or RFPs, multivalent scientific research, scientific writing, clinical trial budgeting/auditing, general project management, college tutoring, etc.).

As a student at Salem State University, I worked in the chemistry lab performing a myriad of scientific research tasks as well as tutoring fellow students who needed help.

After obtaining my bachelor’s degree in Chemistry (in Massachusetts), I volunteered to go to the country of Jamaica to work for the impoverished and disfranchised Jamaican communities whose reclusive rural agricultural lands were plagued with heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, aluminum from decades of industrial mining by multi-national corporations – resulting in devastating scourge of metabolic, hepatic and cardiovascular diseases.

I applied and obtained a job at the International Center for Environmental and Nuclear Sciences (ICENS) where I would play a pivotal role in analyzing levels of the aforementioned heavy metals in rural soils and in foods that emanated from those rural lands. I also did post-mortem analyses of heavy metals in bodies of deceased rural people. At the end of my one year contract, I helped write tangible recommendations to the Jamaican government insofar as amending environmental regulations pertaining to corporate mining and other causalities that contributed to decades of soil pollution in the reclusive rural communities of Jamaica.

After my volunteer work in Jamaica, I came back to the US to work in the arena of Contract Research Organizations (CRO), providing clinical trial services for pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies as well as medical device industries. I have a combined 18 years of core professional experience working for two (2) CROs. My duties related to CRO work included:

Overseeing and ascertaining the qualitative work of pharmaceutical clients’ opportunities/projects from their initial phase of the Request for Proposal (RFP) to the final phase of their submission.

Working closely with subject matter experts across departments of CROs.

Capturing all projected expense metrics to build forecasted budgets in order to evaluate profits and feasibility of a given opportunity.

Working with clients from medical device industries to help research relevant information from hospitals and research health centers as well as helping to forecast financial metrics and functional feasibilities of the proposed medical devices.

Doing Meta-Analysis and Literature Reviews (including, but not limited to, Epidemiology).

Doing Real World Evidence database analysis.

Doing Project Management and other supportive administrative duties.

Extracting data from scientific papers written in French and translating them to English.
