ABOUT SONIA HERNANDEZ
With 30 years of nursing experience—25 of those dedicated to oncology—I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, research coordination, and provider education that I believe aligns perfectly with a mission to advance innovative cancer therapies through informed healthcare partnerships.In my current role as a Clinical Research Nurse at Northside Hospital Cancer Institute, I lead protocol-driven education sessions for healthcare providers during site initiation visits (SIVs), manage over 30 active oncology trials, and serve as the institutional representative to the SWOG Lungmap committee. These responsibilities have strengthened my ability to communicate complex clinical concepts to multidisciplinary stakeholders and tailor educational efforts based on molecular diagnostic insights. In 2024, I was recognized as the second-highest accrual contributor for NCI trials at my institution—an accomplishment that reflects both my strategic and relational strengths.
