PROFILE:
Dedicated Echocardiographer with nearly 4 years’ experience in both pediatric and adult cardiac imaging in the UK and USA. Registered by the ARDMS in Adult Echocardiography and now working towards my ARDMS Pediatric Echo registry. I am also registered through the British Society of Echocardiography Accreditation. Trained and graduated from the University of Florida with a B.Sc degree in Animal Science and subsequently completed the Associate of Science degree in cardiovascular technology from Santa Fe College Florida, specializing in echocardiography.
My main focus is in pediatric echo and, after a period of employment in the UK in a adult and pediatric cardiac department, I was selected for the US Greencard and relocated back to the USA last October to work in a hospital/medical field where my specialization can be best utilized. I thoroughly enjoy my field and look forward to expand my knowledge base. I have the ability to work efficiently under pressure, both autonomously and within a team environment. I am looking to obtain a position Medical or diagnostic/ultrasound equipment sales.
