Ericka Zavada, RT (R) – Education Coordinator & Multi-Specialty Technologist, Radiology “Our field can have people just starting their careers at 18 years old, or in their 40s, exploring a second career. I get to learn from new employees and students. A lot of those students go on to work here after they graduate, which is an accomplishment. I think we’ve made the radiology team a welcoming place to learn and grow. I really enjoy chatting with students from the Talent Garden events who are excited about pursuing a career in radiology. It’s so important that we bring in students either for the Talent Garden, internships, or job shadowing to get an idea of what the job is like. Interacting with people from all walks of life, whether a student, colleague, or patient, has taught me so much about humanity and compassion.” Hennepin Healthcare Foundation is proud to highlight authentic stories from the wide variety of human beings who connect with our mission.
