I am digitally minded and have a clear sense of exactly which type of technology really matters in terms of efficiency, growing the business, staying competitive, helping further cultivate the profession—simply making life easier for clinicians and fellow technicians. For Sterngold customers, I aim to provide knowledgeable support on current products and work on developing new ones that fulfill their needs.”
