Summary
From May 2006 to February 2024 I was employed through Mercy Health in Northwest Ohio specializing in Abdomen, OB/GYN, Breast, Small Parts, and Intentional Radiology guided procedures. While working for Mercy Health I also took practice in training and guiding students as the clinical coordinator for Owens Community College Sonography program. I spent the majority of my career at a level 2 Trauma hospital in Toledo Ohio, however the last two years of my career with Mercy Health I dedicated my skills to the OB/GYN clinic, working closely with the Nurse Practitioners, Midwives, and OB Doctors. I recently spent 90 days at Cleveland Clinic which included limited training on upper and lower extremities for DVT studies and participated in the Edelman Vascular Seminar in order to sit for my RVT exam. In February 2024 I moved to Pennsylvania and I hope to further my career in my new community.
