Faculty

• 2005 - Present

During my tenure as faculty in the Radiologic Technology program, I have had the opportunity to teach a wide range of courses including; Intro to Imaging, Principles of Digital Imaging, Radiographic Procedures II, Image Evaluation, Radiation Biology, Advanced Digital Imaging (Lab), and Radiography Seminar. I have taught in face-to-face, enhanced, and hybrid formats.I have utilized various learning management systems such as Blackboard, Elsevier Evolve, and Canvas. Technology can be an effective enhancement to a course to engage the learner, explain difficult concepts, promote collaboration, improve student learning outcomes, and capture real-time data as a classroom assessment technique. Technology I have incorporated into my coursework includes the use of an iPad, Personal Response Systems, Google Apps, and I even created a series of YouTube videos.In addition to didactic instruction, I have also served as a Clinical Coordinator working with over 40 Clinical Instructors from our 28 clinical partners in the Phoenix Metro Area. I coordinated the placement of the radiography students, evaluated student progress, assisted students in developing achievable goals, and resolved any issues or conflicts that arose during the clinical experience.
