Together with my team and co-editors (Rayne, Shannon and Elizabeth), I hope to provide you with useful information about the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program here at EFSC. We just began our adventure into the sonography world. Like many students at EFSC, I am an immigrant. Our class of 2021 has students that come from a variety of different countries including England, Germany, Guyana and Dominica. We are all looking to create a fruitful and rewarding future for ourselves and our families. Having a diverse body of students helps us to share and spread new ideas. It helps us to learn from each other and to be able to learn from each other’s cultural backgrounds. Many of us want to enter the health care field because we like to help people and make lives better. However, it is not always easy to figure out the right career in a field that has lots of different pathways and is constantly growing. I am like many other students at EFSC, making a career change during the middle stage of my life. Juggling school and family can be difficult, but it can also be very rewarding and make you feel accomplished. We will be sharing our experiences with you through this newsletter and hope that it provides some insight into the field of Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Sincerely, Nadja Alfonso Jean-Denis Diagnostic Medical Sonography
