What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to what my family instilled in me, particularly the work ethic to keep going. My dad was an immigrant and worked very hard to get where he was in his life, so I think I just learned it from him. Growing up with those values and seeing his dedication really shaped how I approach my career and life.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've received is that you have to keep evolving and changing and learning, because there's always something new. In clinical research, it's always changing, so you have to constantly keep up with your regulations and everything else. It's a never-ending career of learning. The sky's the limit, pretty much. You can change into different areas because research has a lot of different areas that you can grow into. You start off as a research assistant, then you do clinical research coordinator, and you move all your way up. There's a lot of room for growth.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this field is simple: don’t give up. Research is increasingly welcoming to women, and the industry continues to create more opportunities for us. I find the environment to be quite balanced, and I believe that with persistence and dedication, women can thrive and make meaningful contributions in this field.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
My field offers a wealth of opportunities, with many different areas to specialize in. At the same time, there are notable challenges. Regulations are strict, so patience is essential—this is not a field where things can be rushed. Competition can also be intense, particularly when initiating a study, as timely enrollment is critical. One of the biggest challenges is recruiting the right participants for trials while ensuring that all processes are completed accurately and documented properly. Successfully navigating these requirements is key to achieving study goals.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me are honesty, having a good work ethic, being dependable, accountable, and humble. These principles guide both my professional work and my personal life.
