Summary
With over a decade of hospital radiology experience, I bring to the table a passion for teamwork across all departments & the priority of patient care & comfort, as well as top notch image quality. I have been trained in the standards of the largest, most successful company in the industry, but my heart has always longed for rural, small-town impact. I have a passion for synchronizing the flow & cooperation of all hospital departments for the best patient outcomes.
