I began my career in diagnostic imaging, graduating from Mount Sinai School of Radiologic Technology in 1974. I worked in various areas, including interventional radiography, mammography, general radiography and fluoroscopy. Sonography became available for clinical use a few years later and I began training in that imaging modality as well.
Throughout the years I worked at various clinical settings, hospitals, clinics, private medical offices. Each of these locations hosted diagnostic imaging students and throughout the years I was happy to mentor these students. I was happy to share my knowledge and experience with them to guide them on their way to becoming successful technologists.
Later, I enrolled in the University of Hartford and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Advanced Medical Imaging. I then began teaching in the Radiography and Sonography programs at this institution, as well as Manchester Community College.
I am passionate about helping students learn, not memorize, content so that they become true health professionals. I enjoy sharing my experience with students new to the field of Sonography and I take pride in teaching them to become knowledgeable and competent technologists, guiding them on their way to a rewarding career.
