“As a CRC I, my role involves traveling to clinical sites, collaborating with research site staff, and collecting and recording research information for various projects in compliance with study protocols.

“Over my six years at Ora, I’ve progressed from my role as a Clinical Research Coordinator I to exploring new functions in clinical research as a recently promoted Clinical Trial Associate II. In my current role, I assist Project Managers in clinical study conduct, support research sites throughout an entire study, manage the electronic trial master file, and ensure compliance with study specific protocol along with GCP. But what makes me stick around at Ora is more than just the job, it feels like a close-knit community. Our leaders and mentors create a fantastic environment, supporting us not only within our teams but across the entire Ora family. These past six years have been a journey of growth, and I’m truly proud to be part of this amazing team.”
