Dear Sir or Madam:

My experience as well as my interest in furthering my career in the field of Clinical Research have urged me to send you this letter (including attached CV).

I have a solid background supervising and administering project related activities in the field of clinical research, and contract management. My experience encompasses disciplines that include but are not limited to, compliance monitoring, quality control reviews, source preparation, subject recruiting, medical records review, subject consent, subject visits (clinical and documenting), SAE documentation, and EDC/IVRS documentation. Contractual projects were often in the multi-million dollar range, requiring knowledge, collaborations, and the application of tools and techniques critical to a successful outcome. Some of my successful collaborations have involved academic institutions and governmental agencies like: The University of Miami/Department of Pediatrics, Jackson Memorial Hospital Mental Health, and South Miami Hospital Child Development Center, to name a few. Some of the healthcare programs I collaborated with included: UM Adolescent/Young Adult, UM Hematology/Oncology, UM Liver/GI, UM Genetics, UM Sickle Cell, and SMH Child Development Center to name a few.

In addition to my professional experiences I hold an MBA and BS degree from Nova Southeastern University (NSU). I successfully completed the first year of my nursing program and will be sitting for my LPN boards this upcoming May. I am also preparing for the CCRP certification. Lastly, I plan on returning to school to complete my RN degree (online) this spring.

The administrative and technical experience I have received on the field and in the classroom have created an excellent balance that I am sure you will find mutually beneficial. I would very much like to put my skills to work for your organization. I look forward to the opportunity to interview and further discussing my qualifications with you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully,

Luis A Perez (Alex)
