Work History
Applications Specialist • Clinical Dosimetry Instructor

- Onsite and remote instructor specializing in dosimetry and physics applications to customers throughout the continental U.S. and Canada.
- I also support Varian Executive Partnership sites routinely. South Carolina Oncology Associates, Alliance Heath, and several Advent Heath sites. These sites were unique, because while consulting for ARIA was provided, I had the freedom to work with the physics/dosimetry staff in their workflow. This included making needed changes to care paths, encounters, and other workflow items. I found this rewarding because it allowed me to not only train our products, but to have the opportunity to help design an efficient operation.
