Meet Our Team

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.

Carlos Eli Lopez, MS, RT (R)(MR)

Adjunct, MRI Professor

I have earned an Associate in Science in Radiography, Bachelors in Science in Health Services Administration, Masters of Science in Management, and am MRI certified through ARRT

Before joining Valencia's faculty in 2007, my experience has included positions as a Radiographer and MRI Technologist at Orlando Regional.                                              

Personally, I come from a loving, grounded, Christian family who have inspired and motivated me to great achievements educationally, but more importantly modeled the importance of what it means to be a positive influence in the lives of others.
