Nicole Berg, R.T. (R)(CT)
Treasurer
After accumulating nearly 16 years of experience in healthcare, I made a deliberate decision to transition my career, while still preserving my passion for the healthcare industry. My journey into radiology began with enrollment in the X-ray program at Pima Medical Institute in Mesa, focused by a desire to specialize in this critical field. Recognized for my potential, I was encouraged by an instructor to apply for the Student Leadership Development Program (SLDP) with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, a pivotal moment in my professional growth.
Since January 2023, I have proudly served as Secretary on the board of the Arizona State Society of Radiologic Technologists, where I actively contribute to advancing our field’s standards and practices. Currently, I work as a Computed Tomography Technologist at a level one trauma center, where I am dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care through advanced imaging techniques. My commitment to quality and innovation continues to drive my contributions to the healthcare community.
