Contact Details
I am a Nuclear Medicine Technologist with strong program management experience across both clinical services and research, including clinical trials and translational imaging. I have extensive clinical experience to design and improve research imaging pathways, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, and deliver complex imaging protocols in busy research environments, including working with internal and external vendors.
I have three decades of experience in advanced Nuclear Medicine, PET, and Bone Densitometry, with a focus on high-quality data acquisition, protocol compliance, and smooth coordination of clinical and research services. I’m passionate about continuous improvement, supporting research outcomes, and working collaboratively to deliver high-quality results that ultimately benefit the people and communities we serve.
