With over 16 years of experience in diagnostic medical sonography, I bring a deep passion for the field and a strong commitment to student success. I graduated in 2009 from Cuyahoga Community College and am credentialed by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) in multiple specialties, including OB/GYN, Abdomen (RDMS), Vascular (RVT), and Fetal Echocardiography (RDCS-FE). My career began in general ultrasound, but I quickly found my niche in maternal-fetal medicine, where I spent several years specializing in high-risk obstetrics. In 2021, I expanded my skill set to include pediatric and fetal echocardiography, with a focus on congenital heart disease a field I currently work in and continue to learn from every day. I've consistently been told that I excel at breaking down complex concepts into clear, understandable lessons. My teaching philosophy is centered around simplicity and visual learning I believe that when students can see how the anatomy and pathology come together, true understanding follows. I know how overwhelming the amount of information in sonography can be, especially when preparing for ARDMS boards. Having personally taken and passed the SPI, ABD, OB/GYN, RVT, and RDCS-FE exams, I know what it takes to succeed. I focus on helping students categorize pathologies and build confidence in their ability to master the material. Sonography isn't just a career for me it's a lifelong passion. I genuinely love every specialty, but my favorite subjects to teach are OB/GYN and fetal echocardiography. It's a privilege to help the next generation of sonographers develop their skills, grow their confidence, and fall in love with this profession as I have.

Outside of the hospitals, I am a plant lover! Outside plants, houseplants, gardening love it all! I am creative and crafty and also design shirts for my cardiology team. Love being outdoors and watch my 2 boys who are active in sports!
