Summary
I am a final-year BSc Human Life Sciences student with a growing passion for clinical research and a strong interest in building a career in the field. As a Clinical Research Intern and Clinical Trial Assistant (CTA) at Tiervlei Trial Centre, I have gained hands-on experience supporting the day-to-day conduct of clinical trials through quality control of study documentation, eSource development training, laboratory support, and clinical trial administration. I enjoy working in collaborative environments, pay close attention to detail and I am always eager to learn and take on new challenges. My goal is to continue developing my skills and build a career as a Clinical Research Associate (CRA), contributing to the successful delivery of high-quality clinical trials.
