Chief Technical Director
Mount Sinai Health System

RTANYS Chair of the Board

NYSSRS Member

With more than 20 years of experience in radiation therapy and a decade of leadership guiding professional advancement, I am committed to ensuring radiation therapists are supported as skilled, empowered clinicians delivering high-quality, compassionate care. I currently serve as chair of the ASRT Practice Standards Council, chair of the national advanced practice radiation therapy working group, founder and chair of the Radiation Therapy Association of New York State and a member of the ASRT Consensus Committee on the Future of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy. I actively contribute to research and quality improvement initiatives focused on care delivery, efficiency and expanding the clinical impact of radiation therapists. Through these roles, I have led national initiatives to refine practice standards, advance the development of the advanced practice radiation therapist role and expand career progression pathways.

If elected, I will ensure that radiation therapists remain informed, represented and meaningfully engaged in the issues shaping our profession. I will provide clear, timely communication following House of Delegates meetings, updates to the Practice Standards for Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy, conferences, and policy or regulatory developments that affect workflow, scope of practice and patient care. My goal is to ensure radiation therapists feel informed, supported and empowered — and that our collective voice strengthens patient care and the future of our profession.

RADIOGRAPHY  CHAPTER

Assistant Director of Radiology
Maimonides Medical Center
Brooklyn, New York

NYSSRS Member

I have worked in the radiography field for more than 20 years, including in positions as a technologist, as an educator, in medical image management and processing system — formerly known as PACS — administration, and as a department director. With this experience, I have gained knowledge in all aspects of the radiography world and have been able to share this knowledge with colleagues and while serving as a volunteer for both the ASRT and American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. I have experience in facilities ranging from a small, 25-bed critical access hospital in rural New Hampshire to my current position at a large, urban, level I trauma center in New York. I have previously served as delegate, vice chair and chair in both the Radiography and Bone Densitometry chapters. I have also written multiple articles for the Radiologic Technology journal and Scanner.

If elected to serve as a delegate for the Radiography Chapter, I will continue to share my knowledge via the ASRT Communities and hope to get to know more of my fellow ASRT members. I will also continue to promote the profession and ASRT locally and continue to work with the local colleges’ radiography programs to provide high-quality clinical education.
