What I'm looking for

I seek a sonography role in a collaborative OBGYN/MFM setting where I can contribute high-volume, high-risk obstetric imaging, procedural support, and continued clinical growth.

I am a certified diagnostic medical sonographer with focused experience in obstetrics, gynecology, and maternal-fetal medicine, trained at a CAAHEP-accredited program and holding certifications including ARDMS and FMF NT. I consistently manage high daily volumes—scanning up to 14–20 patients—and perform comprehensive fetal surveys, transvaginal exams, and ultrasound-guided procedures.

I have hands-on hospital and outpatient experience, including inpatient externships and roles assisting perinatologists, completing detailed reports, and presenting findings. I am proficient with Epic, ViewPoint, NextGen, Citrix, PACS, Outlook, and Teams, and certified in BLS and specific procedural devices.

I deliver efficient, patient-centered imaging care in high-risk obstetrics environments, including competency with twin and triplet scans, nuchal translucency testing, dopplers, and amniocentesis support—aiming to contribute skilled sonography and collaborative communication to a maternal-fetal or OBGYN team.
