(l-r) Anita Camic, Angie Baer, Andrea Canedo

Get to know a little bit about our new members by reading their autobiographic introductory paragraphs below:

I am th e new Regulatory and Safety Coordinator at HOG.  I was previously at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) in the Research and Sponsored Programs department, specifically in Research Compliance for the past 5 years.  Prior to that I was an outdoor apparel buyer for a national sporting goods store for 15 years and also worked at times on a neighbor’s farm, managed a local café, and as a massage therapist for a local chiropractor!  I love to camp and backpack when I have the opportunity.  I live on a lake, so also enjoy waterskiing and wakeboarding as well as just hanging out on the water.  I am trying to learn German as I have hosted two German exchange students and would like to be able to return the favor of speaking their language when I visit!  Little known fact:  made a summit attempt on Mt. Rainier, but didn’t make it all the way :(.  Mostly unknown fact:  Bluegrass is my music of choice. I am very excited to be a “HOG” and look forward to working with each of you in the future.

Currently, I have joined the Data Management team at Hoosier Oncology Group to assist in the development and validation of Clinical Trial data.I started out in the research industry 5 years ago working as a Data Collection Coordinator in designing and developing Case Report Forms for Clinical Trials.  I have been working in Data Management for the past three years as a Data Validator.  I also did Wellness Coaching for Community Health Network in the Health Promotions department.   Prior to working in the research industry, I was a Social Worker for two years in a Long Term Care facility.  I have a BS degree in Health Science and two minors in Social Work and Public Health.  I keep very busy outside of work with my three children, two dogs and two cats.

Andrea Canedo, MBA, brings to Hoosier Oncology Group eleven years experience in Project Management in Bio-pharmaceutical Research and Development, and in Information Technology.
