Tara Edmondston
Mackay
Summary
Highly motivated and committed Radiographer with a proven history of both clinical, managerial and operational skills. 20 years experience, across all modalities in a variety of settings, has enabled me to become a versatile employee that can adapt and multitask, with exceptional accuracy and attention to detail. A forward-thinking approach, excellent communication skills and professionalism has enabled me to lead teams to superior performance. These attributes continue to support the fundamentals that I also still value mostly highly, compassion, care and dedicated service in Medical Imaging and the patients it serves.
