Based in North Carolina, Andy works hard to build lasting relationships with his colleagues and clients and strives to help make a difference with the projects he supports.
Andy has bachelor’s degrees in Biology and Exercise and Sport Science from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. During his time at UNC, he received the Carolina Research Scholar Award and a commendation for undergraduate research in biology. He was active with several organizations and had the opportunity to travel to remote parts of Panama to establish medical and dental clinics during his junior year.
“I truly enjoy being part of finding a solution for clients with their development plans. Previously, there was a sponsor that was facing a unique situation and needed to move fast to meet its internal timelines. The client and I worked late into the evenings to coordinate documents, information and our calls together,” Andy said. Ultimately, the client decided to work with FHI Clinical on this project based on Andy’s ability to quickly assemble and provide a meaningful strategy for their next steps. During a call with larger teams, the contact specifically called out Andy’s work.
In a previous role, Andy led a strategic initiative to develop and foster a stronger relationship with a rare disease and pediatrics group. He partnered with a delivery expert to better understand the space, develop and share meaningful material with the team and drive new business. Andy said, “Through this experience, I had a chance to better understand the journey of patients in rare disease and pediatric trials as well as learn about the nuances of the space as they relate to study planning, operations and regulatory affairs.”
Outside of work, Andy loves running, cycling, being outdoors and spending time with friends and family. He enjoys cooking and has recently started to get more into coffee. His favorite coffee right now is the Joe Van Gogh Ethiopia Sidamo. He and his wife are both big supporters of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels.
