What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on CT/radiology roles in trauma, ED, or high-volume hospitals offering clinical growth, teamwork, and technical challenges.

I am a registered radiologic technologist with ARRT certification in both CT and radiography, experienced across Level I–III trauma centers and emergency care settings. I bring broad hands-on expertise with major CT, DR, PACS, and EMR systems.

My career includes travel and staff roles at high-volume hospitals and specialty centers, where I’ve operated GE, Siemens, Philips, NeuroLogica, Shimadzu, and other imaging equipment while supporting trauma, stroke, and urgent care workflows.

I hold an AS in Radiography and a BS in Exercise Science with strong academic performance, and I maintain current BLS/CPR certification. I am comfortable adapting quickly to new sites, agencies, and electronic systems.

I deliver dependable patient care, technical accuracy, and collaborative communication with interdisciplinary teams; letters of reference are available upon request.
