About me

About Me

Upon completing my Master in Biomedical Science in 2006 I decided to specialize in Clinical Research. I have a large experience in monitoring and managing (inter)national clinical trials (Phase II-IV, ISS & consortium study and registries). I have experience in preparation of global submission packages for several EU countries, executing site and vendor contracts, hiring and training of CRAs, writing and developing of study-related documents (e.g. ICFs) and management plans. Furthermore I have been involved in SOP development and revisions.
In addition to my clinical work I have gained experience in process optimization of lab sample management & logistics with a leading role regarding the implementation of a new software system.

I am a person who is enthusiastic and committed and can adjust in many different working environments quickly. I deliver high quality work within agreed timelines, with an eye for details but always keeping in mind the big picture. I learn and familiarize myself with new processes and documents efficiently.

Since 2018 I am NVFG member and part of the organizing committee of the NVFG ClinOpsday 2019 ‘Research Professional – van alle markten thuis’.
