Reason for seeking office My unique career path has allowed me to spend time addressing the complex issues that currently face the ACR. Trained as a Medical Radiation Physicist, I am able to explore the unique challenges that face Physicists and discuss issues related to patient safety. During my Neuroscience PhD training, as a student leader, I learnt of issues in basic science and the challenge of integrating basic science with clinical application. Now I currently spend time in both a large academic center and with a national private practice. This unique set of varied prospectives allows me to better represent the wonderfully diverse voices of our membership. It has been an absolute honor serving as your CSC representative for the past four years. I would be tremendously grateful for the opportunity to continue my service.
