About

I help growing biotech, pharma, and medical device companies find proven leaders and clinical experts who can drive Phase 1-4 and IDE trials forward, without burning out internal teams or relying on generic recruiting models. With 17 years in the life sciences space and a referral-based network built on trust, I connect teams with high-impact talent in Clinical Operations, Medical Affairs, Safety, and beyond. This path began on a belief: that recruiting should feel more like a partnership than a transaction. Early in my career, I realized the difference between someone who "fills a seat" and someone who moves a study forward. So I built a firm that puts care and credibility first, no job board blasts, no generic lists. Just well-vetted, relationship-driven talent aligned with your specific therapeutic and operational needs. Our process is built around clarity and trust. I only recruit roles I understand. Every candidate is personally vetted. Feedback is looped into the process in real time. And whether the search is quick-turn or a long-game effort, I keep the scope tight and the communication constant. The result? Candidates who show up aligned and ready, not just technically, but culturally. Recent Placements: VP of Clinical and Medical Affairs – San Diego Biotech (Referral-led, 30-day turnaround) Director of Clinical QA – Southern California Med Device (Placed after months of failed internal search) Clinical Document Specialist – Specialty Pharma (hard-to-fill regional placement) Contract CRA – East Coast Biotech (secured within 48 hours) Clinical Project Manager – Global CRO If you need a clinical recruiter who leads with integrity, specializes in complex life science hiring, and delivers quality without the noise, let’s talk.
