At just 15 years old, a CT scan unexpectedly revealed a breast cancer diagnosis. While the news was life-changing, the experience also sparked an interest in medical imaging that would shape a future career.
Following the CT scan, the journey continued with ultrasounds and a mammogram. Experiencing firsthand how these imaging modalities work and how they contribute to diagnosis led to a clear realization—becoming a radiographer and specializing in both CT and mammography was the path forward.
Having been diagnosed at such a young age, there’s now a personal mission to advocate for breast cancer awareness. The goal is to ensure people understand the importance of imaging for early detection, encouraging regular screenings to identify potential issues before symptoms appear.
