Summary
As a fellow epilepsy warrior, I pursued a career working with people that I can relate to. Experiencing EEGs throughout my life gives me ability to guide patients through what to expect and validate any feelings they might have. I’ve grown from a new technologist fresh out of school to an advanced neurodiagnostic technologist that can connect and read neonatal, pediatric, and adult EEG studies.
