Additional description or bio about me:

Currently, my objective is to further pursue a career in medical imaging by applying knowledge obtained from rigorous coursework and practical internship at a major academic medical center and outpatient facility.

In October of 2009, I completed and graduated from an ARRT sanctioned and recognized MRI program at East West University (in conjunction with Citi College of Allied Health). I am currently preparing for the ARRT boards and have obtained my ARMRIT certification.

Throughout my career I’ve always been one to thrive in high pressure and productivity driven work environments. Furthermore, a combination of experience at Rush inpatient and an open MRI center has prepared me to easily transition into an environment like yours and begin contributing without delay.
