Hi, I’m Crystal Foushee. Nice to meet you.


I have in the industry since 2011 working my way from Global Contracts Manager all the way to US Manager of Site contracts before starting my own consulting business.

As much as I love negotiating contracts, my heart for people is even bigger. More specifically, I sympathize with those we are either brand new to the industry or starting at a new Site/CRO/Sponsor and there is absolutely no training that pertains the Contract Managers!

Recognizing this need, I founded and created the C&D Academy, LLC to offer a comprehensive solution.

Clinical research is my career, but people are my passion.
