What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my imaging expertise while contributing to regulatory affairs and quality assurance in a dynamic healthcare environment.

I am an experienced MRI technologist with a strong background in performing a variety of imaging studies using advanced imaging procedures. My journey in the medical imaging field began in 2017, and since then, I have honed my skills at several reputable institutions, including Ascension Borgess and Alliance Healthcare. I take pride in obtaining high-quality images through optimal imaging parameters, patient positioning techniques, and effective patient coaching measures.

Throughout my career, I have ensured the safety of both patients and department staff by adhering to strict screening protocols. Additionally, I have had the privilege of training students in the MRI program, collaborating with clinical coordinators to ensure their success and readiness for the ARRT exam. My technical proficiency includes the use of various imaging systems such as GE, Siemens, and Philips, as well as software tools like Cerner, Epic, and Universal Manager.

Before my career in radiology, I served as an Assistant Branch Manager at OMNI Community Credit Union, where I developed a comprehensive training program that is still in use today. This experience has equipped me with strong leadership and training skills, which I continue to apply in my current role as I mentor the next generation of MRI technologists.
