After my father had an ultrasound on his heart, he encouraged me to enroll in ultrasound school. I began my career working at Mobile Infirmary Medical Center. I concurrently opened the first specialized school in the country, Gulfcoast Institute of Vascular Ultrasound. I was then hired to be the Technical Manager of the General Ultrasound department at Mass General Hospital. Following, I made the decision to open a second ultrasound school. Our first class began in one room with 4 students. Now located in White Plains, New York, CURE has a campus full of bright and dedicated students. CURE is expanding to CT, working to train students & physicians globally.
