How long have you been with Parexel?
I’ve been at Parexel since 2016. I still feel like the new colleague because the other nurses have been here even longer!
Why spend your career with Parexel?
My coworkers! They’re not just my coworkers, they’re my friends. They are all so supportive, kind and nice. I love working with them!
Even when I started, my coworkers and managers were so welcoming — I never felt like a stranger. We always try to help each other and have really good communication. Everyone across the different teams is here to help!
Tell us about your journey to Parexel.
I started working as a nurse at MICU in Korea for four years, then I wanted a more diverse experience so I joined another CRO as a CRA. It was there I found that I really enjoyed Clinical Research. When I worked at MICU in Korea, there was a Parexel office in the hospital so I knew of Parexel’s values and culture. When I moved to the United States I knew this was where I wanted to work.
Which Parexel Core Value stands out to you?
Patients First is the core value that resonates most with me because if we don’t have subjects, we can’t do our jobs. They are the most important part. It’s our job to keep them safe and comfortable while they are here. The subjects and volunteers help test new treatments and these learnings help many others.
What is the best part of being a Senior Research Nurse?
Everything! That’s why I’m still working here. All my coworkers are awesome! At Parexel, I feel I am contributing something to society and my day-to-day responsibilities are interesting. Working on early phase studies we spend time getting to know our volunteers and hear about their experience which is always interesting.
Tell us about yourself outside of work.
I find being active helps me to relax. I de-stress with Pilates and the gym. I’ve been doing Pilates for about eight years, and it really helped me strengthen my back — I recommend it! I do HITT workouts too and it gives a real sense of accomplishment.
I enjoy spending time with my husband, Kiwan; we were long-distance when I lived in Korea so it makes time together all the more special, even now! We love trying different coffee shops together like Alchemist Coffee, Arabica and Alfred. My go-to order is an iced Vanilla Latte. We’re also big Marvel movie fans so keeping up-to-date on the latest movies gives an instant date-night activity.”
