"After I graduated I started my MSc in Drug Discovery and Pharma Management. The masters was a year long and I had the opportunity to complete a three month summer internship at a clinical research organisation to aid the completion of my final dissertation. During these three months I was situated within the Study Start-Up (SSU) department helping the Regulatory and Operations department. I was able to work with directors and managers to create and maintain trackers that will be utilised during the start-up of clinical trials. We also had the opportunity to hold an event for the company called 'The Chocolate Trial' where we held our own clinical trial for our colleagues. The trial was composed for the staff to guess the flavours of chocolate, by means of a blinded trial – which was a great way of understanding how clinical trials are organised and the number of submissions required to get approval."
"During the first quarter of 2018, I was approached by Syneos Health to work as a Project Specialist in the general medicine department. My role is very hands on and I work with Project Managers and Directors to manage clinical studies from beginning to end. This entails a number of different activities such as the creation and maintenance of trackers, participating in audits, attending important meetings, corresponding with sites and clients. There is a lot to my role but I love it."
