Emma Sri Ravichelvan

Clinical Research Coordinator | 8+ Years Paediatric & Neonatal RN | Improving Patient Outcomes Through Ethical & Impactful Research

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

About

I am a Clinical Research Coordinator with experience supporting Phase II–III clinical trials, bringing a strong foundation in data integrity, regulatory compliance, and patient-centred research delivery. With over 8 years of experience as a UK-registered paediatric and neonatal intensive care nurse, I offer a unique perspective that bridges frontline clinical care with high-quality research execution. My background in caring for critically ill infants and children, combined with my Master of Public Health (MPH), has strengthened my understanding of population health, evidence-based practice, and the broader impact of clinical research. This dual perspective enables me to contribute to studies that not only improve individual patient outcomes, but also drive meaningful, system-level change. Now based in Toronto, I am actively pursuing licensure with the College of Nurses of Ontario and seeking opportunities in clinical research where I can continue to contribute to impactful, patient-focused studies.
