Julie McCaughtry, BS, RT(R)(CT)

Program Chair Radiography

I have been with Valencia since 1990 when the program converted from a certificate program to an A.S. Degree program. I am credentialed in radiography and have been working in the imaging profession since 1970.  As an example of life long learning, I am a graduate of Halifax Medical Center’s Radiography Program, Daytona Beach Community College and University of Central Florida.  I have experienced working in both large and small hospitals, and imaging and orthopedic outpatient centers, but the majority of my career has been devoted to education.  I have been a Radiography Program Director for 27 years.  One of my joys in life is being part of the process that educates students to achieve their goals of becoming excellent radiographers.

My husband and I live in Lake Helen, Florida, in an 1892 Victorian home.  We enjoy antiques, travel, and reading.  We have 4 beautiful, accomplished daughters, 2 adorable grandchildren, and not to be forgotten, the family Cairn terrier, “Dingo”.

Beverly Bond, M.Ed, RT(R)

Clinical Coordinator, Radiography

I have been working at Valencia since 2001. Prior to Valencia I taught at UCF for eight years in the radiography program.  I have been in the radiography field since 1992 and am currently still a pool employee of St. Cloud Regional Hospital.

I live in St. Cloud and enjoy country living with my husband and two daughters.  We have two cats, one dog, a hamster and many fish.  I enjoy reading, spending time out doors and especially enjoy going to the beach.

Radiologic Technologist, Registered in Radiography, Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging by The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.  Associate Degree in Radiologic Technology and Bachelor’s in Health Science with major in Education.            

I joined the Valencia faculty in 2007.  Prior to coming to Valencia, I worked as an MRI & CT Tech for twelve years.  I also served as a faculty professor of radiography program in EDIC College in Puerto Rico.

Personally, I love to be with my family...that make me live.  Also, I love to teach and help others reach their goal of learning.
