Summary

  • While my experience had been highly patient oriented for much of my career, I also developed a passion for teaching. I am known as a skilled communicator and teacher and have taught breast imaging to hundreds of Radiology technologists, residents and fellows. I have given over 50 regional and national presentation and multiple media, radio talk show & TV broadcasts. During my tenure on the South Central Wisconsin Komen for a Cure Board of Directors, I was responsible for communicating the intricacies of breast cancer to the board members. Madison Magazine named me one of the “Thirty One Madisonians to Know” for my women’s advocacy role in clarifying the controversial US Preventative Task Force guideline changes in breast cancer screening guidelines. I continue to lecture at numerous breast imaging courses and conferences including a Breast Cancer Radiology Pathology course at Herzing University in Waukesha, WI where I can reach Radiology students from the USA and world.

    My most significant professional accomplishment is bringing knowledge, compassion and comfort to my clinical patients for nearly 20 years. I currently work with Radiology Mammography International (RMI) a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the breast imaging and cancer education needs of developing and underserved regions all around the world. I specifically provide technical assistance and hands on training. During August 2013, I accompanied RMI to Guatemala and facilitated installation of three mammography machines and training of radiology technologists and physicians in breast imaging techniques. Through RMI, I have consulted with organizations in Thailand, India, Haiti and Morocco on their development of Breast Cancer Screening Programs.
