I have worked at Canon Medical as an Ultrasound applications specialist for around 18 months now.

I have a strong passion for inclusion and diversity in the workplace and recognise the importance of these values in creating a positive and supportive work environment. Having 12 years of clinical experience, I have seen first-hand the importance of celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion in providing quality healthcare to patients from all walks of life. In my ultrasound applications role I have continued to advocate for inclusivity and diversity by ensuring that my training and communication is delivered with the users is mind, regardless of their background or level of expertise. I believe everyone deserves equal access to quality healthcare, and this can only be achieved through commitment to inclusivity at all levels of the healthcare industry.

I believe that creating an inclusive environment leads employees to thrive, drives innovation and creativity which leads to success within our industry. From developing innovative medical technology through research to developing new software solutions for healthcare leading to better healthcare for all. I am proud that Canon is committed to fostering a workplace culture that promotes and celebrates our uniqueness, recognises different perspectives and that this is the key to creating a workplace that is both supportive and empowering for all employees.

I joined Canon Medical Systems in 2018 as an Account Manager for Radiology systems and am now the Commercial Solutions Business Development Manager.  I previously worked as a Diagnostic Radiographer and as a specialist in Healthcare Informatics within the medical imaging industry.  Today my role is unique within the company and a large part of what I do is finding new and innovative ways to grow the business.  

As someone who is neurodiverse, this fits well with my natural way of thinking.  I didn’t declare my neurodiversity when I interviewed for Canon Medical Systems as I was concerned that it would adversely impact my chances of getting the job but after a few years did so and Canon was great and very supportive.  Now I feel accepted and valued for who I am and Canon benefits from employing someone with a different perspective on problem-solving.
