🏆 Fall 2020 Sonography Student Scholarship recipient
“From the first contact I had with Adrienne, I have found her to be a sweet spirit with a keen desire to learn sonography. She is a student who is not content to memorize information, she has a strong desire to know the why behind the key concepts. She goes above and beyond in her studies and scans. She delivers exemplary patient care to her patients and strives to obtain the best sonographic images possible. She is accountable for her actions and takes responsibility for her learning. I enjoy having Adrienne in the classroom and am so excited for her to win this great honor. Congratulations Adrienne.“
