Staff Spotlight
Tara Fitzpatrick
Consultant
Research Triangle Park, NC
A New England native, I moved to North Carolina from Maine just a few years ago! Between these two coastal states, I make it a personal mission to squeeze in as many beach days and as much time by the ocean each summer as possible. Beyond the beach, I love cheering for Boston-area sports teams (and now, UNC), visiting friends who are spread across the east coast, and trying new creative endeavors (my latest adventure is film photography). I love to stay active and do so through my beach volleyball team (whose first winning season is hopefully on the horizon), tennis lessons, hiking, yoga sculpt, and snowboarding!
WHY I CHOSE SCIVIDA
As a freshman at Lehigh University, I knew I was interested in health and medicine but also loved the social sciences and humanities. My diverse interests led me to pursue double majors in Health, Medicine & Society and Environmental Health Studies, along with a minor in Anthropology, thereby studying health through biologic, humanistic, social, and economic lenses. After graduation, I worked in the Medicaid space and had the privilege of helping to design and coordinate services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. While I loved how people-centered and rewarding the job was, I knew I wanted to further my education, so I pursued a Master of Public Health and graduate certificate in Literature, Medicine, and Culture at UNC. In graduate school, I interned at a consulting firm and saw that the industry provided unparalleled opportunities to do interesting work, broaden one’s knowledge, and develop both technical and professional skills.
I discovered SciVida by happenstance a few months later and was drawn to the prospect of helping shape a younger, fast-growing firm. Additionally, the SciVida StriVe program, wherein a proportion of profits are donated to patient-focused charities, assured me that my work could make a difference not just for the company, but also for patients. I joined SciVida shortly after graduating and immediately recognized the role that each individual plays in driving our firm’s growth, shaping our culture, and upholding a commitment to excellence. While the work is challenging, it is matched by a culture of support and collaboration, with people wanting to see each other succeed. I have had the chance to work across a variety of therapeutic areas, on both global and US-focused projects, all while developing valuable skills and having fun! I’m excited to build on what has been a great experience so far and continue to contribute to the company’s success.

As I was born and raised in Mexico City, travel and food are my passions! Outside of my role at SciVida, I am an avid adventurer and have had the opportunity to visit close to 40 countries. I am drawn to learning about the culture of each place I go, and I enjoy immersing myself in local customs, which of course involves trying out every new kind of food I encounter. From street food to fine dining, I am passionate about discovering flavors. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new restaurants and bars around town, as well as hiking and adventuring in the outdoors. Above all, I love spending time with family and friends.
WHY I CHOSE SCIVIDA
My journey to SciVida was serendipitous. After completing my master’s degree, I embarked on a role at a larger life sciences consulting firm in New York City where I honed my consulting skills but felt limited in my growth opportunities. As destiny would have it, on a particularly disheartening day, I stumbled on SciVida and was invigorated by the exciting opportunities it offered. After just a couple of initial conversations, I could tell the co-founders had a fantastic vision of creating a strong, world-class organization. It didn’t take me long to decide to join the growing and amazing team at SciVida.
To me, what sets SciVida apart is the intimate, close-knit environment that fosters positivity and collaboration. As SciVida is a growing organization, I have a voice in shaping its trajectory and contributing to its expansion, a level of involvement and impact I deeply value. In my personal and professional pursuits, I thrive on exploration, learning, and meaningful connections—at SciVida, I’ve found the intersection of these passions.
FUN FACTS
- Never before fond of felines, I did a complete turnaround and allowed a cat named Nilo to steal my heart!
- I am fluent in Spanish, German, English, and Italian (in order of learning).
- I love to sing and dance.
