Maria is a clinical research expert, educator, and the founder of CRAConnect — a global hub empowering Clinical Research Associates through community, education, and networking. She began her career as a Clinical Trial Assistant after transitioning from a linguistics background, and progressed into the CRA role, monitoring studies across oncology, rare diseases, cardiology, CNS, and more. After 5+ years as a CRA, she grew increasingly driven to modernize the tools and processes that shape clinical trials. This led her into the technology side of the industry, where she supported the design, development, and go-to-market strategy of clinical trial software in roles such as Solution Consultant, Subject Matter Expert, and Marketing Director.
With experience across both operations and technology, she founded CRAConnect to address a major gap in the industry: practical, modern, community-driven training for CRAs. Through CRAConnect's Academy, courses, and annual conference, Maria's mission is to elevate the CRA profession and help clinical research professionals learn the real-world skills needed to deliver better trials — and ultimately, better outcomes for patients.
