ANTICIPATED GRADUATION DATE:

June 2020

HOMETOWN:

Lansing, IL

WHY YOU CHOSE ROOSEVELT:

I chose Roosevelt because it is located in Chicago and I love the city! Roosevelt was one of the few schools in Illinois that offered a Bachelor’s in Radiography. Another reason I chose it was because of the small class sizes.

MAJOR/MINOR:

Allied Health – Radiography

WHY YOU CHOSE THIS MAJOR/MINOR:

I loved my human anatomy and physiology classes and knew I wanted to work in healthcare. While x-ray is an imaging science it is also an art form. I am able to combine my love of art with my love of science.

DREAM JOB AND WHY:

After I become a licensed Radiologic Technologist I want to become a Radiologist. Going a step further and becoming the Radiologist would allow me to read the radiographs and diagnosis patients. I enjoy interacting with others and helping people.

EXTRACURRICULARS (CLUBS, ORGS, JOBS, INTERNSHIPS, VOLUNTEER WORK, ETC.):

At Roosevelt I am involved in the Natural Science Club, CASSAC, and the GPS program. I have also played soccer for 10 years.

FAVORITE SPOT AT ROOSEVELT:

My absolute favorite spot in Chicago is the Riverwalk.
