ARRT Preparation

Barbara Holland is an R.T., an outdoor enthusiast, and is dedicated to her family and patients.

Liana graduated from the School of Radiologic Technology in 1987 and worked as a radiologic technologist, mammography technologist, and sonographer at Regional West until 2012. She spoke highly of the School of Radiologic Technology and encouraged students to be engaged in their profession and open to opportunities.
