We had the good fortune of connecting with Christine Pham and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Christine, other than deciding to work for yourself, what else do you think played a pivotal role in your story?
Being a Medical Diagnostic Sonographer, it requires a lot of my attention, my Children is the reason I wanted to work for myself, being able to spend more time with my two wonderful children, My ten year old, Ariana, would ask me “Mommy, can you go my class party?””Mommy, can you eat lunch with me at school?” “Mommy, can you take me to my first day of school?” And my answer would most likely be, “I’m sorry baby, I have to work, I don’t have anyone to cover my shift.”
What should our readers know about your business?
As a working mother with a 10-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son, I always found it challenging to balance her work and family life. Given the long hours and time-consuming nature of my job, I often had to leave home before dawn and return home after dark, leaving me with limited time to spend with my loved ones.
The COVID-19 pandemic added another layer of complexity to life. As the pandemic took hold, there was a significant decline in the number of young people considering careers in the medical field.
This led to a shortage of medical diagnostic sonographers, making it even more challenging for me and her colleagues to keep up with the increasing demand and hours for their services.
In March 2023, I made a decision to take control of her work hours while still pursuing her passion for medical imaging.
Purchasing or getting a business loan for an ultrasound unit was a challenge due to high costs of the machine, so I decided to buy a laptop unit and also become mobile, offering to come to expecting mothers’ homes during baby showers or gender reveal parties.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Ariana & Grayson, without their unconditional love and support I would not have the courage to take that risk to open a business. My children are the reasons I want take control of time, life moves too fast, I want to enjoy the life I was given.
