What sparked your interest in radiation science technology?
I wanted the main focus of my career to be working with people in a meaningful way. However, being born in an electronically savvy generation, I’ve found technology an intriguing subject as it is constantly evolving. The field of radiation sciences is a union of the two, and I’m excited to use this education in my future endeavors within the health care field.

Three things people may not know about you:

• I had a pet duck named “Goose” in my childhood.
• I hope to travel to as many different countries as possible during my lifetime while trying as many foods and activities unique to those areas.
• During high school I worked at Amigos roughly three times a week for three years. I also ate Amigos every time I worked, so if you do the math that’s burrito bliss.
