Summary

Skilled sonographer with extensive experience in performing a wide range of ultrasound examinations, including general, obstetric, musculoskeletal, vascular, and interventional procedures. Dedicated to Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) education, my goal is to empower rural doctors by equipping them with practical skills to enhance patient care in underserved areas. Currently, I volunteer as a mentor with organizations like RAB and PEARLS, sharing my knowledge to foster growth in the sonography field. Proficient in operating Philips, Canon, and GE ultrasound machines, I prioritize clear communication with patients and staff, and I excel both in team environments and while working independently. Committed to delivering exceptional patient care and continuously developing my professional skills, I also have experience in veterinary ultrasound.
