I've led Interventional Radiology operations at Saint Joseph Hospital since 2007, supervising nurses, technologists, and support staff while directing daily patient flow and procedure turnaround.

As a working lead, I scrub and circulate for invasive and non-invasive angiography procedures, including venous access, angioplasty, stenting, embolization, thrombolytics, vertebroplasty, drainage, and biopsy cases. I also coordinate vendors, equipment maintenance, staffing schedules, timekeeping, departmental policies, and communication between radiologists and clinical teams.

I've also supported outpatient Interventional Radiology at Kaiser Permanente as a PRN technologist, performing PICC placements, tunneled dialysis catheter and port procedures, fistulagrams, and catheter exchanges.

My background includes diagnostic imaging, clinical instruction, charge coverage, PACS support, and radiology office coordination. I'm ARRT registered in Radiography and Vascular Interventional Radiography, with current Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support certifications.
