"What I love about my job is being able to use my skills to help patients reach a diagnosis and ultimately improve their health. Ultrasound is an important diagnostic tool that's used on many parts of the body. This versatility makes for a job that never gets boring. I also love the people I work with at Valley Regional Hospital. These kind and intelligent people have become some of my closest friends."
