      Interests / Specialties: I am a Regulatory Affairs Specialist in the Department of Dermatology and a Master of Regulatory Affairs student in the Clinical Research Track at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. My long-term goal is to develop policy innovations that promote good clinical practice and good documentation practice in the human subjects research setting. This interest also includes research into improving the well-being of clinical research professionals who, let us face it, are experiencing record burnout during this pandemic era. Good clinical practice and good documentation can only happen if we support the physical and mental health of our workforce! Prior to coming to Penn in August 2022, I had two years of regulatory affairs experience at the Jefferson Clinical Research Institute at Thomas Jefferson University. I have a Master of Public Health in Community Health and Prevention (2019) and a Certificate in Healthcare Informatics (2020) from Drexel University and a Dual Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Anthropology from Millersville University (2017). My next educational pit stop after I finish my MRA at Penn in 2024 is to (eventually) pursue a PhD in Health Services Research and Policy.
