About

As Head of Proposal Management at MLM Medical Labs, I have contributed to the company’s growth by expanding our small team into a strong team that supports global clinical trials with accurate and strategic cost calculations. My previous experience includes working for a sponsor as well as an internship at a CRO, where I gained valuable insights into client needs. These experiences enable me to develop tailored, strategic proposals. I focus on developing efficient proposals, optimizing processes, and building successful collaborations to deliver high-quality solutions to our clients.
