Alison Berger
I have grown up in Oklahoma all my life, but love exploring and discovering other places. This is probably why I have come to love ultrasound the way I have. The body is a huge puzzle to explore and one that you are never through studying. I first completed my Bachelors of Nutritional Science at Oklahoma State University. Next, I was honored to go to Moore Norman Technology to get my Associates in Diagnostic Ultrasound graduating in 2008. I can do all kinds of Ultrasound except Echo, so still room to grow and from what I understand it would be in a big way.
I became involved in the Oklahoma Sonography Society in 2013 and I have been honored the privilege of being an officer for OSS these past years. These last few years I have taken the role of Web Secretary which entails updating the website, sending emails, and other odds and ends. Currently, I work for OU Health mainly with the Cardiovascular department, but I also get to continue practicing general US when I float over to that department.

Ellen Obermiller
I am a California native but moved to Oklahoma around 2012 to be closer to my family and go back to school. I am a graduate of OSU-OKC, where I earned my degree, specializing in Cardiovascular sonography.
My family history of heart disease is what motivates me to help people and try to positively change people’s lives, whether it be giving that person more time with their loved one, educating the patient and/or family, or finding the answers to their questions. I feel fortunate every day, when I get to go to work.
I recently married my best friend and am a stepmom to a beautiful 7-year-old. I love explaining what I do and see the look of awe from her.
I am fortunate to work in a local hospital, where I have the opportunity to use what I’ve learned in school, and cross train in General Ultrasound. I am someone who loves to learn and do new things, so I’m the first to ask the “dumb question” and jump in to those difficult and challenging cases. Some of my favorite days are when we have students, where I can share my experiences (positive and negative). I love celebrating a student’s success in scanning, understanding a concept or even when they teach me something. I feel that this is what brought me to be an officer with OSS and look forward to seeing everyone again.
