I am a highly motivated individual who learns very quickly and can apply learned knowledge to other
situations and skills. I have been working since I was 13, starting at Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor as a
Cashier/Waitress/Soda Jerk/Cook. I then work for the Georgia Department of Health as a Secretary on a
distributed education plan in High School because I had earned my graduation credit requirements early.
The next August, I began Radiology School at Piedmont Hospital School of Radiological Technology
from which I graduated and successfully took my national board exam and became nationally
credentialed. I have worked in multiple facilities in the past and have done all modalities with the
exception of MRI and PET scanning. I was a special procedures tech for over 10 years. I was a
technologist on the first mobile CT Scanner here in Georgia.
I work and communicate well with others and am always willing to provide whatever assistance that
maybe needed no matter the time or day.
