Summary

As a recent graduate from MRI school with 12 months of hands-on scanning experience, I bring a strong foundation in MRI scanning, patient care, and safety. Throughout my clinical rotation, I mastered imaging techniques, optimized scan quality, and developed proficiency in MRI machines, including Hitachi and Toshiba. I have gained valuable experience in performing specialized procedures such as arthrograms, and I am highly skilled in patient screening and preparation, ensuring safety through effective zone 4 management and implant screening.

Known for my excellent interpersonal skills, I am committed to creating a calm and comfortable environment for patients, ensuring their comfort and safety throughout the imaging process. My strong communication skills enable me to build rapport and maintain patient satisfaction. With a keen attention to detail and a focus on efficient time management, I consistently maintain a high patient flow while prioritizing tasks to ensure timely and accurate scans.

I am also proficient in IV injections and inventory management, and I am dedicated to maintaining a safe, well-organized, and patient-centered workspace. I am eager to bring my technical skills, professionalism, and passion for patient care to your company and become a new asset to your team.
