My mother introduced me to the world of Healthcare where she worked as an Ultrasound Technician for nearly 30 years. This profession is near and dear to my heart because every day a walk in this Hospital I cannot do it without being reminded of my mother and the care she gave her patients and the light she brought to her job everyday, and its the same care and light I try to bring everyday to my coworkers daily and especially to each and every patient I care for.
