Summary
I graduated from Bolton High School in 2013. In 2018, I received an associate’s degree in general studies. I then attended the Methodist School of Radiologic and Imaging Sciences and graduated in 2019. I enjoy the challenge of a fast-paced environment, such as hospitals and clinics, because it always keeps me on my toes, and it’s challenging. I love meeting patients from all walks of life and taking care of them. I have much experience in portable X-ray imaging, surgery, and fluoroscopy. I also have experience working in a clinical setting. Before X-ray school, I was in the food and dining industry. I enjoy interacting with people and have a good grasp of how to handle stressful situations with customers and coworkers.
