About the Author
Christy has been a veterinary nurse in the diagnostic imaging department at Purdue University for almost 15 years. After graduating from Purdue in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in veterinary technology, she moved back to her home state of Michigan to work at an equine ambulatory practice before moving back to Purdue to join the diagnostic imaging team and has been a proud boilermaker ever since. She enjoys diagnostic imaging because it gives her the opportunity to provide care for both large and small animals and the ability to work with all the modalities in imaging. She has been a member of the Academy of Veterinary Technicians in Diagnostic Imaging (AVTDI) since 2020 and currently serves on the credentials approval committee, examination committee, recertification committee, and international/non-U.S./foreign credentialing requirements subcommittee. In her spare time, she enjoys exercising, horseback riding, reading, and spending time with her friends, family, and cat Lilly.
