Why I love to teach

Loading...
I am a cardiac and vascular sonographer in Palo Alto, California. My 13-year sonography experience in trauma and surgical settings led me to Stanford University’s hospital. I love learning from our rotating students, interns, residents, and fellows, while teaching them the basics of vascular ultrasound.
