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 Computed Tomography and have been working in the imaging profession since 1970.

As an example of lifelong learning, I am a graduate of Halifax Medical Center’s Radiography Program, Daytona Beach Community College and University of Central Florida. I have experience 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 29 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 and 3 adorable grandchildren.

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.

Billie Jo Gioioso, A.S., RT(R) (CT)

I joined Valencia as an Adjunct Professor in 2007. My experience prior to Valencia includes graduation from Valencia's Radiography program in 2004 and employment at St. Cloud Regional Medical Center for the past eleven years.   

Currently, I am attending UCF to acquire a BS degree in Radiologic Science and I am working as an MRI Technologist.

Joan Gibson, RT(R)

Adjunct Clinical Professor

I came to the USA from Jamaica in 1964 at age 16. I graduated from Hartford Hospital School of Radiologic Technology in 1968.  In 2000, I graduated from Daytona Beach Community College with an AA degree. I currently attend St. Leo University and hope to graduate in 2010 with a B. Sc. in Health Care Administration.  I have a full time position at Health Central. I am also a Registered Mammographer.

I have three wonderful sons, all college graduates, two beautiful daughters-in-law, and one soon to be.  I am also blessed with two very cute granddaughters. 

I love gardening and working in the backyard. I am most happy when I am able to give away and share fruits and veggies with friends and neighbors.

Trina Sloan, RT(R)

Adjunct Didactic and Clinical Professor

A.S. degree, Radiography, A.R.R.T Certified RT (R). Currently seeking certification in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

I am a graduate from Valencia Community College in 1996. I am currently working on completing certificate program in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

I joined Valencia as an adjunct faculty member in August, 1999.  Prior to Valencia, I worked for one year at a Level One trauma center and I am currently employed on a per diem basis at Jewett Orthopedic Clinic as a staff technologist.

On a personal note, I was born and raised in Orlando and I have a beautiful daughter and wonderfully supportive husband. We have a very active Jack Russell Terrier named “Laela” who loves to be outside with us.  I began teaching in Environmental Science and Biology many years ago and Radiography seemed a natural progression. Radiography is a dynamic field and you must be willing to learn and grow as the technology changes.  I truly enjoy being part of the process that helps students obtain their goals as they become life-long learners, seeking to become excellent Radiologic Technologists and beyond.
