Alyscia Elogio, HBSc, CRGS, DMS, 

After graduating from McMaster University with an Honours Bachelor of Science, followed by a Graduate Diploma in Ultrasound from The Michener Institute, I began working part time in both the hospital and clinic settings. In early 2017, I began working full time at St. Joseph's Health Care in London where I continue to work to this day. I trained as a general sonographer, but after joining the St. Joseph's Health Care team, I quickly grew a passion and specialization for both breast and MSK ultrasounds. 
When not working, I love to travel and spend time with friends and family. I am kept busy chasing after my 18-month-old daughter and my dog Tia. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks and exploring new places.
