What you did before radiology or a mini-bio about yourself
After college, I worked in the arts field for many years. I worked at the Denver Art Museum and for an architecture and design firm in New York. In medical school, I realized radiology was the perfect fit for me as I can apply my background in visual arts and interpretation to diagnostic imaging. I feel lucky to have found a career path that blends my passion for visual arts and providing excellent care to patients in my community.
