About Alyssa Sheppard

I am an aspiring clinical research professional holding a Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience and currently pursing a post-graduate certificate in clinical research from Sheridan college, I am actively seeking opportunities to apply my knowledge to real-world clinical settings, grow professionally and contribute to the future of impactful clinical research. During my undergraduate studies in neuroscience, I gained hands-on experience conducting literature reviews and pre-clinical animal research, further enhancing my critical analysis and problem-solving skills. I have several years of retail experience which has provided me with very strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills. I am particularly drawn to Phase 1 trials and the development of new pharmaceuticals. With a strong foundation in neuroscience, I am intrigued by studies related to addiction, mental health, and neuropsychiatric and degenerative disorders. Additionally, my exposure to regulatory-focused coursework has sparked a keen interest in the regulatory aspects of clinical research and the meticulous quality control processes essential for pharmaceutical development. I am motivated to contribute to research that drives innovation and upholds the highest standards of scientific integrity.
