I have been a registered radiologic technologist for over 20 years, with experience in diagnostic imaging, interventional radiology, education, and leadership. I currently serve as the Program Director of the Radiologic Technology program at Mary Lanning Healthcare in Hastings, Nebraska.

I have volunteered with the Nebraska Society of Radiologic Technologists in a variety of roles, including Annual Conference Co-Chair (2002 and 2005), Secretary-Treasurer (2010–2012), Advisory Board Member (2012–2014 and 2017–2019), President Elect (2014–2015), President (2015–2016), and Chairman of the Board (2016–2017). I also served on the NSRT Strategic Planning Committee (2021–2022). At the national level, I have represented the profession as an Affiliate Delegate for the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (2014–2016) and served on the ASRT CRTA Region 2 Subcommittee (2016–2018). I was honored to present the Sr. Francis Salesia Memorial Lecture in 2019 and have delivered numerous continuing education lectures at NSRT Education Saturdays.

I am passionate about educating the next generation of radiologic technologists, serving as a professional role model, and advocating for the radiology profession.
