Summary

As a Cardiovascular and Radiologic Technologist, I have over 15 years of diverse experience including diagnostic imaging, surgery, trauma, adult interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, pediatric congenital cardiology, and travel assignments. During the many phases of my career, I strive to provide excellent care to each patient. I have demonstrated adaptability, resilience, and the ability to adjust quickly in many clinical environments.


Based on my extensive background, I would like the opportunity to provide guidance and care for patients on a more educational platform. I am seeking advancement and growth to transition into a Clinical Specialist role. As my experience shows, I have used many different types of equipment and products. Incorporating this knowledge into my career, creates a strong foundation in procedural support and patient education. By utilizing my problem-solving skills and attention to detail, these strategies can increase patient trust, provide best patient outcomes, and contribute to organizational success.
