As a CT technologist, Carmen operates a computed tomography machine to create detailed images of internal organs, bones, soft tissue, and blood vessels.

In addition to the tabling, Janet is excited about the BERG’s week-long giveaway, giving employees a chance to win Lunar New Year baskets and Northwell swag. “Lunar New Year is about prosperity, longevity, and unity,” Janet adds.

When asked about the training course, Sandra Chin added, “The course is three weeks long, but very informative, and one of the best things is that I met some wonderful people.”
