      I performed research, coordination, evaluation and compilation of documents related to atypical Freedom of Information requests. I cover the vast miscellaneous file that generally includes Investigational New Drugs, Controlled Substances, Master Files, Clinical Trials, Contracts, Advisory Committees, Environmental concerns, etc. If the request is for information outside the normal areas we cover it comes across my desk. I have practiced expertise unearthing potentially responsive types of information wherever it may be located in the vast records repositories of the FDA CDER. My communication, coordination, collaboration, compilation and evaluation skills have been finely honed in order to provide exemplary responses to these varied and complex cases. Show less
