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.
