I am an experienced Support Team Member at IRBNet, the most widely-used submission and review solution in the research ethics and compliance industry. I have a strong background in team leadership, project management, and computer programming. I was nominated by my colleagues and awarded with an Employee of the Year (the "WCG Chairman's Award") prize in 2017.
IRBNet, a WCG company, is the leading software solution to manage federal ethics compliance board requirements governing biomedical and behavioral research, as well as other critical committees and boards. IRBNet's National Research Network includes universities and colleges, community hospitals and larger hospital networks, and Federal and State agencies.
My daily responsibilities and tasks include:
Project Manager that led the on-boarding process for a national hospital network of 10,000 researchers to IRBNet, integrating migrated data from two other systems.
Support Team Lead for WIRB-Copernicus Group's Data Request Center, overseeing the system for making requests for clinical trial data from leading international pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
Covers the fundamentals of computer programming and language. Through this professional graduate certificate, I gained an understanding of the techniques and tools necessary for software engineering, database management, and website development.
Topics include abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development.
Explores implementation of common data structures and classic algorithms for sorting, searching, and text compression.
Fundamental concepts of database systems, including database models, query languages, concurrency control, and management of distributed databases.
Reviews software testing techniques and best practices in software testing. Covers topics like test case design, testing tools, and continuous delivery principles.
The classics–history–politics major offers students interested in the Western intellectual tradition the opportunity for multidisciplinary study supported by training in languages central to that tradition. It culminates in a senior thesis requiring students each to address a major problem in the history of ideas in its historical context.
The CHP major is highly flexible, allowing students to fulfill its requirements through varied options within the respective departments. Individuals’ programs, however, must be carefully chosen in consultation with CHP staff so that courses within the constituent disciplines form an integrated whole fully supportive of their eventual senior projects.
I wrote my undergraduate thesis on the Maltese Inquisition's records of interactions between Muslim slaves and Maltese Christian women in 17th-Century Malta.
For my research, I was awarded with several grants and fellowships:
I spent a semester at the Newberry Library in Chicago for an intensive seminar in the humanities. For the seminar, I wrote a paper on interfaith marriages as they were depicted in 17th-Century English plays.
