Summary
I am a dedicated Radiation Therapist with a strong foundation in radiologic sciences, and a sharp focus on delivering high-quality patient care. After a successful career in the music industry spanning over 25 years, I made a deliberate shift to contribute my skills to the world of healthcare. Throughout my music career, I have been fortunate enough to have had countless unforgettable experiences that have included performing on iconic television programs, recording on #1 albums, performing at some of the nation's most cherished music venues, and performing and recording alongside some of the industry's most well-known and talented artists and instrumentalists. In July 2021, I enrolled in the Radiologic Technology program at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, concurrently pursuing an Associate of Science Degree in Health and Human Sciences: Radiologic Technology at Thomas Jefferson University. In May 2023, I graduated with honors, passed the ARRT registry exam, and became a certified Radiologic Technologist. In August 2024, I graduated from the Mayo Clinic's Radiation Therapy program and passed the registry exam to earn my credentials as a Radiation Therapist. I am currently working full-time as a Radiation Therapist at Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center in Philadelphia where I am continuing to focus on delivering high-quality care to cancer patients.
