Patient-focused Clinical Research Coordinator with 2+ years of FDA-regulated Phase I–IV trial experience across oncology, gastroenterology & ophthalmology — now applying health informatics & data analytics skills to real-world healthcare problems in my final year at Franklin University.
About Me
Clinical Expertise Meets
Data Science
I'm a Health Informatics student at Franklin University, Columbus, OH, completing my Master's degree (2024–2026) alongside my background as a Doctor of Pharmacy from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad.
My career spanned FDA-regulated Phase I–IV clinical trials across oncology, gastroenterology, and ophthalmology — managing patient recruitment, informed consent, eCRF data entry in Medidata Rave, Oracle Argus, and ArisGlobal, and ensuring full ICH-GCP compliance.
In my final year capstone, I'm collaborating with a team of 3 students to analyze real dental patient data for HW Dental (four Columbus-area branches), using Python, SQL, Excel, Tableau, and Power BI to surface marketing insights for Medicaid and Spanish-speaking populations.
I hold GCP certification, IATA dangerous goods training, BLS certification, and Medidata Rave EDC training, and have authored two peer-reviewed clinical pharmacology publications.

HW Dental — Healthcare Marketing Analytics
Marketing Analytics for a Growing Dental Chain
Analyzing de-identified patient data across four HW Dental branches in Central Ohio to surface demographic patterns, referral channel performance, and actionable marketing opportunities — especially for Medicaid and Spanish-speaking populations.
Project Overview
As part of Franklin University's Real-World Project initiative, our 3-person team partnered with HW Dental to perform end-to-end marketing analytics on a live, de-identified dataset from a fast-growing dental practice. I contribute across data cleaning, segmentation, and visualization using Python, SQL, Excel, Tableau, and Power BI.
Key Research Questions
- Branch Comparison: How do Clintonville, Polaris, Sawmill & Westerville differ in patient demographics and insurance mix?
- Referral Channels: Which sources (Google, personal, insurance) drive the most patients per branch?
- Target Populations: How effectively is the clinic reaching Medicaid recipients and Spanish-speaking patients?
- Geographic Gaps: Which Columbus-area ZIP codes remain underserved?
- Communication Preferences: How can outreach be tailored by patient segment?
