Professional
Summary
As a nuclear medicine technologist with many years’ experience, I am a skilled clinician.
However, my greatest satisfaction comes from providing excellent, compassionate patient
care, which is a critical but often missing piece in diagnostic testing. Along with performing
scans as proficiently and painlessly as possible, I explain every procedure while reassuring
my patients and allaying their fears. I deeply value the strong rapport I have built over my
career with patients as well as doctors and other colleagues.
