Shortly after beginning as an EKG technician, I also trained and worked as a holter monitor technician, cardiac stress test technician, and after graduation, a vascular sonographer. I began my teaching career in December of 2004 teaching a variety of courses for the cardiovascular sonography Bachelors program. I am also the Program Director for the cardiovascular technology sonography program.
