Parker University diagnostic sonography Alumni Tringa Krasniqi was first inspired to pursue an education in diagnostic sonography after seeing firsthand the profession’s incredible impact on people’s lives. After her father had to undergo several sonography and imaging procedures, the professionalism and compassion Tringa saw from the sonographers left a lasting impression on her – one that helped shape her journey in the not-too-distant future.
Tringa quickly realized that diagnostic medical sonographers have a significant impact on people potentially going through a diagnosis resulting in the worst time in their lives. “I want to be the person who can bring light in those dark times, even if it’s just for a moment,” she says.
Diagnostic Sonography Specializations
During her clinical rotations, Tringa discovered her passion for OBGYN, so she intends to work at a large hospital, like Parkland hospital in Dallas, and specialize in the field. Throughout Tringa’s career as a sonographer, she plans to make a positive difference in patients’ lives by providing accurate and compassionate care. “I hope to continually grow in my field, learning new technologies and techniques, and eventually contribute to advancing the practice of sonography,” Tringa says. Long-term, Tringa would even love to mentor other aspiring sonographers and possibly get involved in research or teaching.
One of Tringa’s main goals is to provide the highest level of patient care, ensuring patients feel comfortable and well-informed during their sonography procedures. Professionally, she aims to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology or vascular sonography and become an expert in that field. “I would also love to be a traveling sonographer, which would allow me to experience different healthcare environments while helping people across various regions,” Tringa says.

The environment was so welcoming, and everyone I met was incredibly sweet, making me feel like I was part of a family. The program’s focus on developing technical skills and providing compassionate patient care stood out to me, and the faculty’s commitment to student success played a big role in my initial decision to apply.”

Putting Her Parker University Education into Action
After her graduation from the Parker University sonography program on February 28, 2025, Tringa now works at Parkland hospital in Dallas, Texas. “I’m excited to begin my career there and contribute to the healthcare team, helping patients while applying the skills I’ve learned throughout my education,” she shares. “Once I work here for a year or two, I plan to travel as a sonographer to gain diverse experiences in different healthcare settings. After that, I plan to return and continue working at Parkland hospital in Dallas or a hospital that values the skills and care I can bring to my role.” In the future, Tringa might even open a healthcare practice with her sister to combine their skills and passions in the field!
“I believe I can make an impact by not only providing high-quality diagnostic images but also offering patients a sense of comfort and understanding during their exams,” Tringa adds. As a sonographer, she will be a vital part of a patient’s healthcare team, helping doctors make important diagnoses and guiding patients through an extremely stressful experience. “I also hope to advocate for advancements in technology and practices that improve patient outcomes,” she says.

I strive to live a meaningful and happy life like them. I plan on doing that by working as a sonographer,” Tringa says. “I’ve witnessed them work tirelessly, 24/7, to build a better life for me and my siblings. Their dedication and hard work inspired me to pursue something I love and to work just as hard to build a fulfilling career.”
