When I meet patients, I tell them that I work for them. I'm here to help them make informed decisions about the care that affects their body. Their concerns, goals, and needs are most important. I help them understand the types of imaging studies we're performing. And I clearly explain how the information we gather from those studies will help their care team answer clinical questions.

Taking care of people, animals, and our environment has always been important to me. A career in radiology allows me to pursue that passion as well as my interest in health science. It's gratifying to help people through a healthcare system that can feel intimidating and complicated. If I can make an uncomfortable situation less scary for someone, it's a successful day.
