What is your role at the Penn FTD Center and how long have you been working at the center?

I have been working in clinical research for 6 years and have been with the Penn FTD Center for 2.5 years. I started out in the center as a clinical research coordinator and am now the regulatory project manager. In my current role, I prepare/oversee all of the regulatory submissions for both our observational and clinical trials research programs.

What has this role taught you?

I hope to continue to grow with the center and use my skillset to support future clinical and observational trials.

What is your favorite thing to do in Philly?

I always tell people how underrated Philadelphia is! The food scene is great, and there is always a concert, sports game, or festival to attend! I also really enjoy the great public parks we have around this city, including FDR and Rittenhouse Square!
