Summary
I am seeking a position as an X-ray Technologist, where I can apply my ability to work well under pressure, communicate clearly, and provide compassionate care—especially to pediatric patients. Having spent meaningful time at Minnesota Children’s Hospital as a patient myself, I bring a personal understanding of the value of comfort and trust in medical environments. I am known for my positive attitude, reliability, and commitment to greeting every patient with patience, clarity, and a genuine smile.
