GET TO KNOW ME

Hi Everyone!

My name is Joanna and I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  I am part of the leadership team in the diagnostic imaging department of an acute care hospital.  I am the Manager of the Medical Imaging Department, overseeing the clinical operations of the CT, MRI, and Interventional Radiology modalities.  I have also taught CT Imaging Theory and Practice to Medical Radiation Technology students as an Associate Professor.  I've been working in healthcare for 15 years now, first as an x-ray Technologist, later becoming a CT Technologist, and then expanding my skills in a leadership role.  

​

I am a practicing Medical Radiation Technologist, and am a member of the College of Medical Radiation and Imaging Technologists of Ontario (CMRITO).  I am passionate about providing the best care possible to patients arriving for medical imaging procedures, while ensuring they are in a safe and judgement free space.

My Positionality Statement

I am a white, middle-class, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied, Catholic woman in her 30s of European descent. I was born and raised in Toronto and have been fortunate to grow up and live in a very multicultural environment. I have always had a passion for healthcare, once dreaming of being a pediatrician.  When deciding my career path at the end of high school, I chose to enroll in a Medical Radiation Science program at McMaster University and later started a career as an x-ray Technologist. In my 15 years of experience in healthcare, I have developed a open minded and empathetic opinion for all patients, as I have been fortunate to work with a variety of patients with different backgrounds, mental illness, cancer, and varying disabilities. Being a frontline healthcare worked at the start of my career has allowed me to provide optimal patient care and have kept this in mind as I transitioned into leadership positions.  I lead with putting patient care as my central focus, and always advocating for the patient in any decisions made from a clinical operations perspective.
