Stephanie Punch

Stephanie Punch works as a nursing assistant on an orthopedic floor, interacting with radiologic technologists on a daily basis, which is where her interest in radiologic technology began. She came to Delaware Tech because she wanted to expand her education within the medical field and make a better future for herself. "Delaware Tech is a well-known community college that is affordable and offers a variety of programs of study."

Stephanie lives about 60 miles from campus and clinical sites and drives 120 miles per day, five days a week. She also works 12-hour shifts every weekend to help pay for her education and the cost of living.

Since starting in the radiologic technology program, Stephanie has noticed improvements in her time and money management skills. She advises students to never procrastinate. "You must commit yourself to whichever program you choose. Try to stay on top of things and always be a 'go-getter!'"

After graduating from Delaware Tech, Stephanie would like to work in a trauma or urgent care setting and then advance into another modality such as CT scan, interventional radiology, or mammography.
