Summary
Focused, motivated and qualified ultrasound technologist with experience in all groups. I am detail oriented and thrive on ensuring the highest quality of patient care and departmental safety. Through our POCUS team I was able to share my knowledge with the Baylor Medical Students and Midwives on the proper use of point of care ultrasound in today's field. I am looking to fill a position with a team that has the same dedication as I do for our patients care and well-being. I want to be able to utilize my technical and medical skills along with my training to produce quality images for patient diagnosis and treatment.
