Summary
I am currently a cardiac sonography student at Ivy Tech Muncie campus. I have completed 800 clinical hours at Ivy Tech, IU Health Ball Memorial Muncie and Lutheran Health Network Fort Wayne. I will graduate in December of 2024 with an associate’s degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography. I passed my CCI on October 30th and now have my RCS. For the past 12 years before entering my program, I worked closely with patients as a dental assistant and office manager. I take pride in being a hard worker, having compassion, staying organized, and being a team player. I am excited to continue learning in a clinical setting and start my career as a cardiac sonographer.
