Summary

I have been a proud ultrasound sonographer for approximately 14 years. I began my career working for West Coast Radiology. I had trained at this facility during my internship for six months and was offered to work after a few months from completing my internship. While working for West Coast Radiology i learned how to scan abdomen, pelvic (TA and TV), first trimester obstetrics (TA and TV), second trimester obstetrics, small parts (hernias, lipomas), thyroid, renal/bladder, prostate, breast, venous doppler (lower and upper extremities) , and arterial doppler (lower extremities). I also assisted with hysterosonograms, thyroid biopsies, and breast biopsies. I worked with an amazing ultrasound team and amazing radiologists. In 2017 West Coast Radiology then merged with Radnet/Wave Imaging. I currently work for Wave Imaging Anaheim. At this site we only do general ultrasounds with no procedures. In the past three years i have trained six students from Platt College. Its challenging training students at a fast paced facility as the one i work for currently, but its an accomplishment as well. I was in their shoes. I always try my best to teach them as much as i can. I love what i do. Ultrasound is my passion and i don't see myself doing anything else. I enjoy scanning all general ultrasound but i have always had a passion for breast and obstetrics.

With this said, i want to expand my knowledge. I believe its time for a new challenge. I want to learn more. Help more patients. I want to learn from the best and work for the best team. I am a great team player. Im known to be detailed with my work. I treat my patients as if they were one of my family members. With love and respect.

I have my SPI and i am currently studying for Obstetrics and planning on sitting for my exam this summer.

It would be a privilege to learn and work with the Perinatology Sonographer Transition Program.
