Team Apex Evaluation is in our largest phase of expansion yet. This summer we'll welcome five new staff members sitting across the spectrum of the organization. Allow us to begin the introductions. Today we spotlight Mary Lombardo, a Project Support Specialist with a background in the medical field. Her positionality as a witness to the stark disparities in healthcare access and health outcomes provides insights that inform her work at Apex. In her words, "Witnessing these disparities has not only deepened my commitment to addressing health inequities but has also fueled my determination to advocate for systemic changes that prioritize the well-being of all individuals." As a member of our deep Project Support team, Mary offers comprehensive support throughout the organization to contribute to the success of numerous projects. She operates in a cross-departmental position that assists internal and external collaborators via user support, data management, reporting, and administrative support. Mary is pursuing a BS in Population Health from The University of New Mexico with a minor in Chemistry. Outside work, she spends time with her partner, family, and pets, playing games, taking her dog for walks, and snowboarding in winter. Apex honors positionality and engages multiple perspectives - including those who hold decision-making power, those doing the work in the field, and those most affected by the work.

📋 The Power of Self-Organization for Clinical Research Associates🧠💡 As Clinical Research Associates (CRAs), we’re often juggling multiple trials, sites, and deadlines all at once. It’s a role that requires both attention to detail and the ability to stay nimble. 🏃♂️ But let’s face it—without a solid organization system, things can get stressful fast! 😅 Whether it's staying on top of your emails, site visits, monitoring reports, or all of those regulatory documents, efficient self-organization is the secret sauce to keeping calm and staying in control. When we’re organized: ✨ We hit deadlines with ease. ✨ We communicate effectively with sites and sponsors. ✨ We reduce unnecessary stress and avoid that dreaded feeling of overwhelm. On the flip side, a lack of organization can turn a manageable workload into chaos. 😱 It can lead to missed deadlines, having to double-check files, and unnecessary anxiety that takes away from the core of what we do—ensuring patient safety and high-quality data! So, embrace those to-do lists, calendars, and trackers like your best friends. Staying organized is not just about getting things done—it's about doing them well while keeping your peace of mind intact. 🧘♂️💼 How do -you- stay organized in your CRA role?
