MS, RDMS, RVT

Michelle graduated from Texas A&M University with her Bachelor of Science in Biology and consequently a Master’s at Colorado State University. During her Master’s, she worked on research with the veterinary radiologist using different imaging modalities, including ultrasound, to diagnose pneumonia in rabbits. This was her initial discovery of her love for ultrasound, so she pursued her career in ultrasound at the University of Colorado Hospital. She has been a ultrasound clinical instructor for three programs and is an active member of the ARDMS, SDMS, and AIUM. She has served on the ARDMS board writing panels, and is a published author of several educational courses through the SDMS. 

Michelle began working with Antech Sound Imaging as a Clinical Education Specialist, training veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and veterinary radiologists about ultrasound. She has taught in private and corporate veterinary hospitals, as well as at symposiums, conferences and private education events. She has been a recognized speaker at veterinary conferences including VMX and WVC. During her time at Antech Sound Imaging she realized a need for professionals performing  veterinary ultrasounds in the field. She then co-founded Focused Ultrasound Resources (FUR) to address the community’s needs.
