Summary
I am an experienced MRI Technologist focused on bringing a comforting patient experience and contributing to an efficient MRI team. I have had the privilege to work with x-ray students and have brought educational insight to new MRI techs as well. I have traveled to new MRI sites to help with onboarding of new techs and establish new scanners. I am passionate about making sure patients are taken care of before, during, and after their scan, as well as giving them confidence in my abilities during a high stress situation. I have worked along side radiologists to inquire about patient safety and protocols to ensure the best quality of care.
