We have another Future Sonographer Friday (because Mrs. Davis forgot last week 🙂‍↕️), so here’s a double dose for y’all today!! We asked each student the following questions:
1. What has been your favorite part of the program so far?
2. What do you hope to achieve as a sonographer?
3. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
Kasey’s response:
1. My favorite part of the program has been learning all things cardiac related and getting such a hands on experience from such amazing instructors as well as getting to know all my classmates that have become some of my best-friends over my time here at CVIU.
2. As a sonographer, I hope to apply everything I have learned from CVIU to make the most accurate images for the physicians I work with to aid in a good care plan for patients. I also hope to continue growing on the skills I already have and becoming a better sonographer.
3. In my free time I enjoy going shopping, spending time with my friends and family, traveling, and going to the beach or tanning by the pool.
Hannah’s response:
1. My favorite part of this program has been all of the hands on scanning experience and the amazing teachers! Everyone at CVIU is so welcoming and we all love to see each other succeed. It truly has become my home away from home. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else!
2. My goal as a sonographer is to become double certified in cardiac and vascular. I also want to provide patients with the care and attention they need to make a positive impact. I strive to be and do my best no matter what the job throws at me!!
3. In my spare time I love to hangout with my family and friends!
Lauren’s response:
1. I have loved being apart of this program because it’s so cool and unique to see the heart in different views, and I love how small the community is allowing us to all be friends.
2. As a sonographer, I hope to continue to learn and grow my skills as I continue on in this career. I also hope to make a difference in the patients life when they come in for a scan.

That’s all for today!

Everyone genuinely wants to see each other succeed- the upperclassman, and the instructors are always willing to answer questions, even outside of school hours. It feels like a community where everyone is there to lift each other up, and that makes learning so much more enjoyable.
2. I hope to become a skilled cardiac sonographer and eventually specialize in pediatrics. I’ve always loved the idea of working with children and being part of a team that helps get the care they need.
3. In my free time, I love building LEGO sets!
