Student Spotlight – Marie Barrett, MRI Program

Tell us more about yourself & your background?

Hello, I am Marie and I started my professional like as a flight attendant, so customer service and people are my passion, I knew I always wanted to be in health care so I started my research and was intrigued by MRI and how it worked. In MRI I get to talk to patients all day and I really enjoy that. 

What brought you to CBD College and when did you begin your journey here?
