Senior Trial Manager
I have over 10 years of experience in clinical trials and currently serve as a Senior Trial Manager within the Oxford Trauma and Emergency Care Group. In this role, I oversee a diverse portfolio of studies, including adult trauma, paediatric, and rehabilitation trials.
As a Senior Trial Manager, I provide comprehensive support across all phases of the trial lifecycle. I work closely with Trial Managers, Chief Investigators, the Oxford Clinical Research Unit, and wider trial teams to ensure studies are delivered to the highest standards.
I joined NDORMS in November 2019 as a Clinical Trial Manager on the HUSH study, following previous roles in the Department of Primary Care, where I managed trials in cardiovascular and infectious disease research.
My academic background is in exercise therapy for individuals with neurological conditions, with a PhD focused on exercise as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease. I maintain a strong interest in clinical trials, particularly those involving exercise and rehabilitation.
