What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values quality assurance and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 15 years of experience as a radiographer, I have developed a strong expertise in MRI, CT, and X-ray imaging. My career has spanned both clinical and administrative roles, allowing me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the radiology field. Currently, I am based in Bangalore, India, and work remotely with a U.S. tele-radiology company, where I focus on ensuring report accuracy and quality control.

In my most recent position as a QA Radiographer with the American Radiologist Network, I have honed my skills in error detection and collaboration with radiologists and IT teams to maintain high-quality workflows. Previously, as a Lead/Senior Radiographer at Manipal Hospital, I supervised teams, optimized imaging protocols, and ensured compliance with safety regulations. My commitment to quality assurance and patient care has been a driving force throughout my career, and I take pride in mentoring staff and implementing best practices in radiology.
