Cheryl has worked in Clinical Research since 1998.  She began her career as a study coordinator at Dartmouth College working in the Brain Imaging Lab under Dr. Andrew Saykin.  After 9 years of working in various clinical research sites, Cheryl moved into the Sponsor side of Clinical Research, beginning as a Clinical Trial Associate for Ono Pharma USA.  Through the years, Cheryl progressed in her career on the Sponsor side from Clinical Trial Associate to Clinical Research Associate, monitoring Phase 1 studies, to Clinical Trial Manager and eventually Associate Director of Clinical Operations.  During this time, Cheryl also graduated from George Washington University with her MSHS in Clinical Research Administration. 

​Cheryl is eternally grateful to the people at Dartmouth who gave her a chance and introduced her to Clinical Research.  She was also very lucky in working with wonderful mentors through the years that afforded her opportunities that she may not have been given.  It is because of that first chance which was given, and the support and guidance that she was provided through the years that she makes it her ambition to further the development of her direct reports and provide them the same mentorship that she had received; giving opportunities to those who show interest in the field.
