RISING
STAR BRADFORD HARROLD
B
radford Harrold, CRA, CIIP, ARMRIT, holds a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences, with a focus on administration. He currently serves as the associate director of imaging administration at UT Southwestern. However, he is not a native Texan. He was born at Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in Oakland, California and grew up in the Bay Area. His journey to an imaging career began after a previous job exposed him to the possibilities. “I was an emergency room technician and part of that entailed transporting patients to radiology. This allowed me to observe the workflows of each modality. I spent time with the various technologists and asked what they did and didn’t like about their jobs. It seemed like an interesting and growing field, so I decided to pursue it,” Harrold recalls. ICE magazine recently found out more about this rising star via a question-and-answer session. •
