• Internship in state-of-the-art facility allowed me to hone my skills on top-quality equipment with some of the best minds in radiography.

• Twice earned patient service and care awards for providing quick and decisive care to patients in need.

In addition to my qualities above, my colleagues would also tell you I am dependable, efficient, and I have a strong ability to think on my feet. For example, a recent patient could not lift his foot for me to get a quality image, so I quickly thought of a creative way to position myself to get a great shot while preventing undue discomfort to him.
