Summary
Seasoned Sonographer with success in building relationships with patients to produce highest quality images. Highly proficient in interpreting physicians' orders, determining appropriate imaging and maintaining comprehensive patient records.
Offering an over 20-year background working in the medical field. I am a not only a great team player, I don't require supervision to get the task at hand done quickly and correctly.
I will be an empty-nester next month and I'm looking to fill the free time that I will be having in the evenings and weekends.
I am very proficient in computer and typing skills, I'm an excellent communicator and I feel I'd be an asset to any company.
