Dallas College

Student Experience: Marcia L. Boyd

“I wanted to work in a medical field but didn’t want to become a nurse. My education at Dallas College helped begin my journey into the radiology world and has allowed me to further my career and grow as a technologist. 

“The instructors are top-notch. It says something when an employer asks where you went to school, and when Dallas College is the answer, there are no further questions!! The instructors make you feel so comfortable and always have your best interest at heart. They are encouraging, fantastic and an absolute joy to have as leaders. 

“The most important thing I learned is not to give up; there is always someone fighting for you to do your best. I would absolutely recommend this program to other students.”  Marcia Boyd earned an associate degree in Radiologic Sciences. She works as a CT technologist in Grapevine for Preferred Imaging, an outpatient-based imaging center with locations across the metroplex, offering MRI, CT, X-ray and C-Arm Arthrogram and Myelogram procedures.

“I chose El Centro one, it was closer to home. It was a little more affordable than going to somewhere out of state or somewhere else. Just those two things were, were the main thing, the reason why I chose to go to El Centro. I think El Centro did an excellent job of preparing me for going into the workforce.”
