Cecilia, sonographer


Meet Cecilia, one of our sonographers otherwise called echo techs.  Cecilia is originally from Colorado but  citizen of the world would be more apropos at this stage of her life!  Shortly after college, she worked in a lab where her job would be cut.  Her supervisor suggested she become an echo tech because she loved to travel.  She attended school in Spokane where she met Jeff Harmson. HHNW's other sonographer. (See Jeff's profile in this blog 2013)
Cecilia's career moves are a checkerboard of the world map.  She started at Duke Univ in North Carolina then went to Sydney, Australia, Singapore, California, Colorado, Utah, Massachusetts, and Saudi Arabia.  She has always practiced her skill either directly with patients, teaching other sonographers how to use equipment, and working directly for research and development for HP/Phillips Co.  She also has a passion for lavender and had a 1 acre farm where she harvested the lavender for sachets and/or essential oils.  She recently moved to Florida to be near her brother and his family. She truly loves her profession and revels in where it can take her.
Cecilia is also a white water guide (in her spare time) and enjoys guiding private groups.  Her life's desire is to visit each of the 196 countries of the world.  She has been to 51 now and says she needs to live to 104 years to be able to accomplish her goal. Rwanda is her 51st country and first visit to Africa.  We are happy to oblige her as she helps out HHNW this year.
