Officer Team

President

Amanda Lynn

Hi! I am a wife to Christopher and a mother to 3 beautiful children. Past graduate of OSU-OKC with a cardiovascular sonography degree. I absolutely love the field of ultrasound and I tell my children all the time that I carry a super power - I can see the insides of people. Echocardiography is my absolute favorite because everyone’s heart is unique and I love each one I get the pleasure of studying. It’s an honor to be the OSS President for 2022 and I hope to remain involved with them for my whole career, helping others and myself learn and grow in the field of ultrasound.
Vice President

Austin Blissard

Hi, I am your VICE. Not only have I always had great taste, but I am still as awesomely photogenic. I am new to this OSS position, but I am looking forward o slaying it!
Web Secretary

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.

Secretary

Jenny Gilmore

I am a Clinical Assistant Professor and Clinical Coordinator for the sonography program at OUHSC. I earned my bachelor’s degree from this same program in 2009. I have twelve years of clinical sonography experience with an emphasis in high-risk obstetric care though I have worked in general, adult echo, and vascular departments. I also have ten years of clinical leadership experience; in my most recent supervisor role I developed training procedures and standards of care, helped the company expand from one clinic to five fixed clinics and two telehealth clinics across two states, and established clinical accreditation across all sites. As a single mom of two girls, my free time is mostly spent catering to my children and their after-school activities and social events. When life allows, I enjoy reading, weekend brunch, and warm weather. I feel blessed to be an OSS officer again and look forward to serving Oklahoma sonographers.
Treasurer

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.


Tulsa Officer

Aimee Francois

My name is Aimee Francois and I am the Diagnostic Sonography Instructor at Tulsa Community College. I began my training as a Radiology Tech in south Louisiana. For five years I worked at a very busy 50 bed hospital that saw a tremendous amount of trauma through its emergency department. I decided to apply to sonography school when I was burned out on call and vowed that I would “never carry a beeper again”. ☹ My sonography training was through a 15-month CAAHEP Accredited program in ABD, OBGYN, and Adult Cardiac at Jackson Memorial Hospital / the University of Miami Hospital and Clinics in Miami Florida. I graduated from sonography school in 1987. My credentials include ABD, OBGYN, Vascular, Neuro-sonography, Adult Cardiac, Fetal Cardiac, and Nuchal Translucency. I have over 30 years of experience as a sonographer and I have worked in a wide variety of patient care settings; Hospitals as large as 1,200 beds and as small as 50 beds, busy doctor’s offices, and slow-paced imaging centers. During the 30+ years, I have worked as a sonographer, I have never been on call! 😊 For the past six years, I have been the program director at Tulsa Community College’s DMS Program.

We are a CAAHEP Accredited program in General and Vascular Ultrasound. I have a Bachelor of Science from Nova University (now Nova-Southeastern) in Florida and a Master of Science from Northeastern State University in Oklahoma. My husband and I have 2 adult sons and 1 daughter-in-law. In 2019, my husband and I celebrated 30 years of marriage! I enjoy all things in nature! Camping, kayaking, canoeing, hiking… My family and I love to travel. Our goal is to visit every US National Park. We have also traveled outside of the US quite a bit. I especially love being at the beach! Salt and Sand are two of my best friends!
