Independent Clinical Research Consultant
I'm Yvette, a clinical operations consultant with 15+ years across pharma, biotech, medical devices, and diagnostics. I help sponsors keep studies compliant, sites supported, and data clean.
Let's talk
About
I've spent my career where clinical research actually happens - at sites, with coordinators, inside the monitoring reports and query logs that determine whether a study succeeds. My work spans early feasibility device studies, pediatric trials, diagnostics, and multi-site pharma programs.
Sponsors bring me in when they need someone who can hold a CRO accountable, get a struggling site back on track, or clean up data that's fallen behind. I work independently, communicate directly, and treat every study team like colleagues rather than checkboxes.
I work best with emerging biotech, medical device, diagnostics, and pharma sponsors who need an experienced operator to steady a study that's slipping, whether that's a site or CRO that's fallen behind, monitoring that needs strengthening, or project management that needs a steady hand.
I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, based on the West Coast, and available for contract engagements nationwide, and open to global opportunities.
Services
Re-engaging underperforming or unresponsive sites - diagnosing site-specific barriers, rebuilding trust with investigators and coordinators, and restoring enrollment, retention, and data timeliness.
Turning around underperforming CROs, central labs, and IVRS vendors - clarifying expectations, implementing new processes, and restoring trust between sponsor and vendor teams.
On-site and remote monitoring for pharma, device, and diagnostic studies, including pediatric IDE and early feasibility trials, with proactive coaching that strengthens compliance.
Clearing data backlogs, driving query resolution, and reconciling vendor outputs to get studies to database lock on schedule with high data integrity.
Feasibility, site qualification, essential documents, SIVs, and training on the front end; clean data and inspection-ready documentation on the back end.
CTM/PM leadership for sponsors who need experienced hands - operational strategy, KPI dashboards, cross-functional alignment, and mentorship for vendor CTMs and CRAs.
Experience
Out of respect for sponsor and study confidentiality, I keep specific engagement details off the public site. I'm glad to walk through relevant experience - therapeutic areas, study phases, and the outcomes I've delivered - when we connect.

I take on a small number of contract engagements at a time so each one gets real attention. If you'd like to talk through your study, I'd love to hear from you.
