Do You Know Her

Mz Bev

I’ll never forget the medical imaging technologist who thought she had failed. Due to a family situation when, she moved to Texas, stepped away from radiology, and took a corporate sales job. The money was good — but her heart wasn’t in it. When it came time to renew her radiology license, she struggled to navigate the newly implemented CEU requirements. The process felt overwhelming, confusing, and discouraging. She told herself, “Maybe this is a sign to let it go.” And when the license didn’t get renewed because she didn’t acquire the required number of CEUs, she felt like she had truly failed. But something inside her kept tugging — a quiet reminder that she wasn’t done with the profession she loved. So she studied for 12 weeks, retook the radiography exam, and passed. (Yay me.) She returned to her first love — diagnostic radiology — but still felt the pull for more. So she set her sights on the CT registry. Six months of self-study. Two more months to meet the exam criteria. She failed the first attempt by less than a few points. After 25+ years in the industry, she wondered: Why can’t I just settle? Why do I still want more? She thought she had nothing left. But she was wrong. She found her second wind. She studied two more months. She prayed. She pushed. She passed the CT registry. Then she wrote two books. Then she wrote and produced music. And she kept going. Because when you have a dream, you chase it because dreams don’t chase you back. The frustration. The pivot. The proof that you’re not stuck. You’re not too old. You didn’t choose wrong. You just haven’t heard your full story yet. If you’ve ever felt invisible in a career you worked so hard for, this is for you. What’s one thing you wish someone had told you earlier in your radiology career?

I’m Mz Bev—writer, radiologic technologist, walker, pray-er, and woman shaped by both the beauty and the breaking of this world. I’ve lived the frontline of healthcare in ways most people only read about. I was there during the Oklahoma City bombing, standing in the middle of chaos with nothing but my training, my faith, and my heartbeat to guide me. That moment didn’t just change my career—it changed my calling. It taught me that every human being is a story, and every story deserves to be seen. These days, I find my rhythm in simpler rituals: a brisk 15-30min walk to clear my mind, or a dance to delight my soul, a whispered prayer before the day begins, a journal entry to release what my spirit has been carrying. I write because it heals. I sing because it frees me. I advocate because the old systemic issues—discrimination, inequity, the crushing weight of medical bills—are still too real for too many. I’ve watched technology transform healthcare in extraordinary ways, yet I’ve also seen how humanity can get lost in the upgrades. That’s why this blog exists. The House of Mz Bev & Perspective is where I bring it all together—my music, my lived experience, my professional insight, my faith, and my fire for justice. This is my space to tell the truth with tenderness. To honor the people who keep showing up. To remind us that healing is not just clinical – it’s emotional, spiritual, cultural, and communal. Welcome to my house. My perspective. My music. My witness. Where Your thoughts and voice matter. too
