PERSONAL INFORMATION

I reside in Newburgh, IN with my fiancée, John, and his two children, Madison, 11,and Nick, 9. We spend most of our time at home watching movies and playing games. (I am not certain if Nick likes me beating him at Playstation Football, but it is a new talent I have discovered!) John and I like to read. My favorite authors are James Patterson, Michael Palmer, Tess Gertesein, and Iris Johansen. When I don’t have anything to read, I resort to John’s western collection by Louis L’ Amour. I have to admit Louis L’ Amour can write an attention grabbing book. During the summer, we like to spend time outside cooking, riding bikes, and throwing horseshoes.  Although we sometimes wonder were our time goes, we always make time for our family and friends

WHY I LOVE MY PROFESSION

I chose radiology because I wanted to be in the fast paced atmosphere of the healthcare setting, be apart of growing and developing technology, and I wanted to get up close and personal with people. Of course I could have chosen another healthcare profession, but I like the opportunity to take care of numerous individuals in one day. I also was enamored by the numerous imaging modalities within the radiology profession (CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiation Therapy). For me, that meant numerous educational opportunities!

While I have the opportunity now to share my acquired knowledge and skills with developing technologists, I still practice in the radiology profession today. I want to stay current in my skills, learn new skills, and still maintain that up close and personal relationship with patients. After working in this field for over ten years, I can’t say that I regret anything. I love the interesting cases and studies performed in CT and MRI. I love the challenges of new technologies and tests to be performed. I love the diagnosis of pathology and disease process. Most of all I love the fellowship that is acquired when you work with individuals who love their profession just as much
