Meet the Chapter Delegate Candidates

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 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 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 a delegate for the Registered Radiologist Assistant Chapter for the ASRT for the last several years. It would be an honor to serve as a delegate for the Cardiac Interventional and Vascular Interventional Chapter in order to help ensure that professional practice stays up to date with our ever-evolving fields.

If elected as chapter delegate, I would work to keep the CI and VI Chapter engaged within the ASRT and with the chapter members.

I currently serve as the clinical coordinator for the radiation therapy program at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center while maintaining active clinical practice at the Oklahoma Proton Center. With eight years of experience in the field, including a focus on stereotactic radiosurgery and advanced proton therapy techniques, I remain deeply connected to both patient care and education. My involvement with the ASRT includes serving on the Committee on Bylaws, the Committee on R.T. Advocacy Region 4 Subcommittee and the Radiation Therapy Curriculum Workgroup; completing the Educator Institute; and current membership in the Advanced Practice Radiation Therapist Curriculum Work Group. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of how collaboration, innovation and education work together to advance our profession. I am committed to representing radiation therapists with integrity and ensuring our collective voice continues to shape the future of patient care, professional development and clinical excellence.

If elected as a chapter delegate, I will actively work to keep members informed and engaged on issues that impact radiation therapy practice. I plan to connect regularly with colleagues through the ASRT Communities platform and professional forums such as LinkedIn to share updates, summarize key discussions and highlight emerging trends in technology and policy. I will also use opportunities at the annual Radiation Therapy Conference and the Radiation Therapy Chapter meeting at the House of Delegates to exchange ideas, gather feedback and strengthen collaboration within our community. My goal is to ensure that every radiation therapist — whether in education, clinical practice or leadership — feels connected to the ongoing conversations shaping our field and confident that their perspectives are represented at the national level.

I have been privileged to serve in the radiologic sciences for more than 35 years, with my career dedicated to advancing the specialty of radiation therapy. I currently serve as the vice president of clinical operations and equity owner at DermaCureRT and RadianceRT, where I lead multisite practices and oversee operations focused on skin-directed radiation treatments, including electronic brachytherapy and low-dose radiation therapy. My leadership emphasizes high-quality patient care, compliance and innovation in clinical delivery. In addition to my professional role, I was honored to be appointed as the California ambassador for the ASRT Ambassadors for R.T. Advocacy program (2025-2026), allowing me to engage with legislative and regulatory issues that impact the practice of radiation therapy and to represent the interests of therapists and technologists across the state. I also serve on an advisory board for Franklin University. I have also served in leadership with the California Society of Radiologic Technologists, including as secretary-treasurer and board member. I have been fortunate to work alongside board members who made lasting contributions to our profession, and I strive to continue learning how best to serve and represent our field.

If elected as a Radiation Therapy Chapter delegate, I will work to ensure that all chapter members stay informed and engaged on issues impacting our practice and profession.

I will:

• Communicate regularly — Provide timely updates on legislative changes, regulatory developments, reimbursement updates and emerging technologies affecting radiation therapy.

I have been a diagnostic radiologic technologist (radiographer) for five years. I hold an A.S. in radiologic science and a B.A. in environmental studies. I currently work in the hospital setting and also serve as a clinical instructor for the University of Hartford. I have experience in an urgent care as well. I have held multiple positions on the board of directors of the Connecticut Society of Radiologic Technologists, including just being installed as president for the 2nd time. I have served as the ASRT delegate for Connecticut multiple times and currently serve as alternate delegate 2 for the Radiography Chapter. I was a Student to Leadership Development Program selectee and proudly won SLDP Alumni of the Year along with serving as a professional mentor. I am a graduate of the ASRT Leadership Academy. I think my background as a radiographer and serving in my affiliate qualifies me to serve as delegate for the Radiography Chapter.

The Radiography Chapter is one of the biggest chapters in the ASRT, encompassing students, active technologists, educators and many others. If elected as chapter delegate, I believe the best way to ensure the chapter stays informed is to make sure there is an open line of communication. This means staying active in the ASRT Communities, sending emails and using social media to get the word out. I also will stay in touch with ASRT leadership and staff to take advantage of any resources at my disposal that may help this chapter. I will be open to anyone who would like to contact me regarding any suggestion or issue they think we need to address. I believe that communication should also involve the other chapters. Many issues that one chapter faces, others probably too are facing or have faced. We are one big community.

I believe that being an educator gives me a distinctive advantage of working with the new and upcoming technologies and what their needs are as well as being in clinical sites with students and seasoned technologists — I get an idea of what they are struggling with. I have been an active member of the ASRT and Iowa Society of Radiologic Technologists for many years and have the knowledge to be successful in the role of chapter delegate.

If elected as a chapter delegate, I will diligently and actively watch the advocacy map and communicate with the various R.T. advocacy groups on laws or changes to current laws that would threaten our profession. I would also communicate about upcoming technology and make sure that we incorporate this new technology in our practice to make us more relevant. I would communicate through social media, emails and the ASRT Communities, as well as be open to any emails or calls from anyone about issues that need to be addressed.

I began my career in radiologic technology as a student in 2006 and have worked in the field since 2008. For more than 14 years, I was employed full time at a level I trauma center, where I gained extensive experience in trauma and orthopedic imaging as well as family medicine imaging. During that time, I also served as a clinical instructor, helping mentor and train radiography students in a fast-paced clinical environment. I continue to work pro re nata at the trauma center and fill in at an orthopedic clinic in Brookhaven, Mississippi. Currently, I serve as the program director of radiologic technology at Copiah-Lincoln Community College, a position I have held for the past five years. In this role, I oversee program operations, curriculum, and clinical coordination, and I am deeply committed to the professional development of our students and the future of the profession. In terms of leadership, I have been actively involved in both state and national professional organizations. I currently serve as secretary of the Mississippi Society of Radiologic Technologists and as co-chair of the MSRT legislative committee. Since 2022, I have also served as the MSRT student liaison, working to support and engage students across the state. In 2024, I completed the ASRT Leadership Academy, and I am currently participating in the Mississippi Community College leadership academy. Beyond my professional life, I am active in my church community, where I sing in the choir and have participated in several mission trips. My career, leadership experience and passion for service have prepared me to represent and advocate for our profession with dedication and integrity.

If elected as a chapter delegate, I will prioritize consistent communication and active engagement with chapter members to ensure they stay informed about issues affecting our profession. I believe that staying connected to both clinical and educational settings gives me a unique perspective on the challenges and needs within our field.

I plan to:

• Provide timely updates on legislative, regulatory and professional practice changes through email, social media and chapter meetings.
• Use my current roles in education and as the MSRT legislative committee co-chair to bridge communication between students, technologists and professional organizations.
• Encourage two-way dialogue by inviting feedback and questions from members to bring back to the ASRT House of Delegates, ensuring their voices are heard at the national level.
• Leverage my experience in leadership academies and state society work to simplify complex issues and make them understandable and relevant to everyday practice.
• Promote opportunities for continuing education, advocacy and professional growth, helping members stay both informed and engaged.

My goal is to serve not just as a representative, but as a reliable resource and advocate for our profession.

I have worked in the radiography field for more than 20 years, including in positions as a technologist, as an educator, in medical image management and processing system — formerly known as PACS — administration, and as a department director. With this experience, I have gained knowledge in all aspects of the radiography world and have been able to share this knowledge with colleagues and while serving as a volunteer for both the ASRT and American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. I have experience in facilities ranging from a small, 25-bed critical access hospital in rural New Hampshire to my current position at a large, urban, level I trauma center in New York. I have previously served as delegate, vice chair and chair in both the Radiography and Bone Densitometry chapters. I have also written multiple articles for the Radiologic Technology journal and Scanner.

If elected to serve as a delegate for the Radiography Chapter, I will continue to share my knowledge via the ASRT Communities and hope to get to know more of my fellow ASRT members. I will also continue to promote the profession and ASRT locally and continue to work with the local colleges’ radiography programs to provide high-quality clinical education.

Drawing on a career that began in 1974, I have dedicated myself to the profession of radiologic technology, primarily in diagnostic imaging, but also expanding into computed tomography and interventional radiology (special procedures). Throughout the years, my role has evolved to include responsibilities such as department educator, training new hires and physicians on radiology applications as part of my medical image management and processing system (formerly known as PACS) admin duties and serving as a clinical instructor for students over the past 25 years. Throughout these decades, I have witnessed and embraced the remarkable advancements in medical imaging technology, always eager to take on new challenges and remain at the forefront of my field. My passion for diagnostic imaging — especially in trauma cases — has been a constant, guiding me to provide compassionate and effective care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. I look forward to continuing my advocacy efforts through service to this chapter.

Engaging members will begin by encouraging open communication; utilizing the Radiography Community platform will invite dialogue and feedback from members. I enjoy open-ended questions, which invite that back-and-forth. We can then foster a culture of sharing information and knowledge. I believe it is vital to have conversations not only with our active members but with those who may only read the community posts. I intend to represent everyone. I feel a delegate should work on behalf of all members. It is important to maintain that fluid communication where everyone feels their opinions are valued and accepted. While being a delegate, it is not my opinion that I represent, but all diagnostic technologists. I want to have your guidance and understand your positions. Having the open forum through the Radiography Community will help solicit that feedback which will ensure your voice is heard.

I have worked as a radiologic technologist for Nationwide Children’s Hospital since May 2021, after graduating with my bachelor’s from Ohio State University. Before graduation, I worked as a radiologist assistant at both OSU and NCH, assisting technologists in performing a variety of radiographic and fluoroscopic examinations. Some of my responsibilities as a working radiologic technologist include performing imaging examinations for diagnostic interpretation and working closely with patients and their families to provide the highest level of patient care. I use radiation safety measures including ALARA, as low as reasonably achievable, daily to ensure the safety of both patients and other staff members. What’s really special is that I get to collaborate with different health care professionals, including but not limited to physicians, nurses, orthopedic/suture specialists and more every day during clinic. I am also actively involved in the medical imaging community on the professional level through volunteering with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and Ohio Society of Radiologic Technologists. I serve as a mammography consultant for the ARRT on the development and implementation of exam questions and practice analyses. I have also held many roles in the OSRT, my earliest being the student director during my senior year of college. My experience as the student director allowed me to bridge communication between students and professionals, as I was the voice for medical imaging students across Ohio. Once I graduated, I transferred into other roles and responsibilities such as being the reporter for OSRT’s newsletter, the Cardinal Rays, and vice chair of OSRT’s leadership academy.

If elected as chapter delegate, I will prioritize communication with my fellow members. For me, this starts on the ground level, communicating with my co-workers who are actively working on the floor. I would also make sure to bring any communications to my friends at the OSRT, so they can notify their members via social media, the Cardinal Rays, and other newsletters about any issues affecting members’ practice areas. As a 26-year-old, I am very active on social media and would be happy to share or repost infographics with pertinent information to the medical imaging community.

I am a radiologic science educator and practicing technologist with a blend of academic, clinical and professional service experience. I teach in the department of medical imaging and radiation sciences at Thomas Jefferson University and also practice as a computed tomography technologist at Pennsylvania Hospital (University of Pennsylvania Health System). My ASRT involvement includes participation in the Student to Leadership Development Program, governance meeting attendance from 2019-2024 and service on the Committee on the Student to Leadership Development Program, the Scanner Editorial Advisory Panel and the Committee on R.T. Advocacy Region 8 Subcommittee. At the affiliate level, I’ve served the Philadelphia Society of Radiologic Technologists as president-elect, alternate delegate, treasurer and legislative contact. I also contribute to interprofessional governance on the UPHS shared governance committee and have co-authored peer-reviewed publications, reflecting strong scholarly and collaborative skills. Collectively, my background demonstrates a commitment to education, advocacy and patient-centered clinical practice and prepares me to represent the Radiography Chapter effectively.

If elected, I’ll use the ASRT Communities as our primary hub, so every update lives in one place. I’ll post timely summaries in clear language and surface urgent items immediately, flagging them prominently and notifying members so the right people see the right news as fast as possible. Routine updates will keep a steady cadence, while breaking developments will be shared right away with a short, plain-English overview and a path to the details. I’ll encourage open discussion in the Communities, acknowledge member input and circle back with concise follow-ups so everyone stays informed and aligned. The goal is simple: one reliable home for information, rapid alerts when it matters and an easy way for every member to stay current.

My background and qualifications for the role of Radiography Chapter delegate include a focus on diagnostic radiography. I began my career in the era of film and have progressed through to the current era of digital imaging and advancements in this modality. I am passionate about what I do and the vital role that diagnostic radiographers play not only in the field of the imaging sciences but also as members of the health care team. I have held nearly all leadership positions on my affiliate board and have continued to pursue additional involvement with the ASRT. I serve my community through membership on local and community boards, such as serving on a local health system’s patient family advisory council and radiation safety committee. I am a CPR instructor through the American Heart Association, and I provide instruction in basic life support to members of the community. I regularly engage in outreach and engagement activities to spread awareness of the field of imaging sciences and to further ignite interest in potential careers for upcoming students who may be unaware of the many opportunities this field offers. Most of all, I share my passion for the field with anyone who will listen.

I feel that one of the best resources for getting information out as a chapter delegate is through the ASRT Communities. This has been an invaluable resource for connecting with others from across the country for ideas, questions and general commentary. I also think it is important to stay up to date myself, which is why I choose to belong to groups like the R.T. Advocacy Subcommittee and the Radiography Curriculum Workgroup. Prompt communication is also key when keeping chapter members up to date, and sending email communications or even posting on social media can help members stay connected to important issues affecting practice. While I appreciate daily logs of information from various platforms, I think posts need to be about current topics and not simply filler posts attempting to grab space and notoriety. I will work on ways to cut down on spamming while still engaging members so that important topics do not get lost in the sea.

I have gained lots of experience since graduating from my radiologic science program in 2019. I have worked in diagnostic radiology as an overnight technologist since 2019 and a teaching technologist since 2022. Since graduation I have completed my Master of Science in radiologic sciences and have become an active member and board member of my state affiliate society. I have a passion for radiography as well as education in the field. I currently serve as president of the Alabama Society of Radiologic Technologists, and I look forward to being part of my affiliate for many years to come.

If elected as a chapter delegate, I will make it a priority to keep our members connected and informed about the issues that affect our daily practice. I believe open communication is key, so I will share updates regularly in a way that is easy to access and understand, and I will also listen closely to members’ concerns so their voices are heard. My goal is to be both a resource and an advocate — bringing information from ASRT back to our chapter while also carrying our members’ ideas and experiences forward to help guide decisions that shape our profession.

My career in radiology includes clinical practice, education and leadership. I served for five years (2018-2023) as a lead radiographer and staff technologist in a level II trauma center, where I supervised technologists, coordinated imaging services and provided direct mentorship as a clinical preceptor for the radiography students rotating through the facility. I have been in a full-time teaching role in radiography since 2014 and have served as a program director since 2021. As the program director, I oversee accreditation and curriculum as well as clinical partnerships and business operations for the program.

In addition, I remain actively involved in professional development and leadership through my service as president of the Texas Society of Radiologic Technologists and as a site visitor for the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology since 2017, which keeps me informed about evolving standards, accreditation practices and emerging trends in radiography. I had the privilege of serving in the ASRT House of Delegates in 2025 as an affiliate delegate, and I am also currently serving as the radiography and limited x-ray machine operator representative on the Practice Standards Council.

As a delegate, I understand the responsibility of serving as both a representative and a voice for the radiography community. It is the delegate’s duty to communicate regularly with members of their chapter and to bring relevant issues to the House for discussion. Closing the loop on communication by disseminating information back to members is also extremely important. To ensure members’ voices are represented, I will seek input through surveys, virtual forums and direct outreach so that I can bring forward the concerns and priorities of radiographers from across the country. I intend to be actively engaged in the Radiography Community and on LinkedIn, soliciting feedback and discussion that can be brought up to the House, and I will work diligently to close the loop on communication with those I connect with.

In 2026 I will have 12 years of experience as a diagnostic radiologic technologist at a level II trauma hospital. 2026 will be my fourth year as a full-time assistant professor at the University of Southern Indiana. I have performed outpatient, inpatient, fluoroscopy, trauma and emergency exams and a variety of surgeries involving the use of a C-arm. I served for two years on the Scanner Editorial Advisory Panel and as the first alternate radiography delegate for the ASRT. I have also served in leadership roles as vice president, president, immediate past president, chairman of the board and senior board member for the Indiana Society of Radiologic Technologists. I have served as a member of the bylaws committee, treasury committee, finance committee, editorial committee, social media committee, advertising committee and sponsorship committee for the ISRT as well. I believe this experience gives me the background and qualifications to make an impact.

If elected as chapter delegate, I will actively communicate and collaborate to keep chapter members informed and engaged. I am very passionate about the field of radiography, and I think chapter members will sense that, if I am delegate. The ASRT Communities is an effective way to communicate, collaborate and educate among imaging professionals, which is why I think it is important to get involved with it. I also think it is important for the chapter delegate to seek feedback from members. After I post something in the Communities, I would like to see feedback on the topic of discussion to make sure that everything was effectively communicated. Through my professional experience as a diagnostic technologist and assistant professor, and as a leader of the ISRT, I will be able to effectively collaborate with state societies and educational institutions to promote professional development within our field.

I have been a registered radiologist assistant for nearly 20 years, with extensive clinical and leadership experience.
