Meet the Elected Chapter Delegates

I am a radiologic technologist with three years of clinical experience in x‑ray and bone densitometry. I earned my Associate of Science in radiologic technology at Los Angeles City College, hold a Bachelor of Science in health administration from California State University, Northridge, and recently completed CSUN’s computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging certificate program. I am also participating in the ASRT Leadership Academy to develop my leadership and advocacy skills further.

While a student at LACC, I served as chair and co‑secretary of the California Society of Radiologic Technologists student committee, organizing meetings, managing the committee’s Instagram, recruiting members and promoting awareness of educational opportunities. As CSRT director at large, I contribute to professional development, member engagement, advocacy and governance. This past year, I revitalized the student committee, mentored student leaders, coordinated speakers, supported continuing education initiatives and contributed to The Technigram. I am running for the Bone Densitometry Chapter delegate to champion professional growth, representation and recognition for my colleagues.

If elected as Bone Densitometry Chapter delegate, I will actively engage in the Bone Densitometry Community to keep members informed about important updates, policy changes and issues affecting our practice. I will share timely resources, highlight best practices and facilitate discussions that encourage questions, feedback and collaboration among members. I will also promote peer-to-peer engagement and ensure open, responsive communication so everyone understands how these issues impact their daily work. By providing clear, actionable information and fostering active participation, I aim to empower members to stay current, advocate effectively for their profession and make informed decisions that strengthen both their practice and our field.

I have been a technologist for almost 10 years, and I hope to use this experience as a great basis to continue stepping into more leadership roles. I hope to use my experience from my various Montana Society of Radiologic Technologists board positions, my assorted jobs in imaging and my role as a clinical instructor to make a positive impact in medical imaging.

I think that bone densitometry is an underutilized modality in imaging for patients of all ages and genders. If elected, I will work to create an engaging environment about bone densitometry in the ASRT Communities. I think one of the best ways to learn is to hear how other technologists and facilities are running programs and working through challenges.

I am certified in bone densitometry with both the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the International Society for Clinical Densitometry. For my certification with the ISCD, I must keep up with continuing education directly related to the bone density field. I currently sit on the ASRT Practice Standards Council for bone densitometry and have been a Bone Densitometry Chapter delegate numerous times, as well as vice chair and chair. I have also been involved with the Bone Densitometry Curriculum Workgroup for the ASRT. With the ISCD, I sit on the awards committee and the facility accreditation committee. The facility accreditation committee reviews applications and assesses if a facility is performing bone density scans based on scientific data and positioning to get the most accurate studies. If the facility scans are not up to par, we make suggestions and ask for corrections. The bone density field is a passion of mine, including the vital information it provides to patients in maintaining their skeletal health.

Being on the PSC and the ISCD facility accreditation committee, I must stay up to date with current education and how the field of bone densitometry is changing. If elected as a chapter delegate, I will post changes and new information in the ASRT Communities to get it out to those in the Bone Densitometry Chapter. Hopefully in turn, they will take it back to their facilities and educate those they work with. I encourage others to post in the Communities also. It is a valuable tool that the ASRT gives us to communicate with others in our field.

I have been active within the profession since I was a student in the ASRT Student to Leadership Development Program. I have served on committees for the ASRT, Georgia Society of Radiologic Technologists and Atlanta Society of Radiologic Technologists for the last 12 years. I have served as president of the Atlanta society twice since 2019.

I believe that communication is the best way to build our specialty. When we work together and talk about our challenges, amazing things can happen for our profession as a whole and for our patients.
