What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in respiratory therapy and public health while fostering patient education and community collaboration.

As a licensed Registered Respiratory Therapist with over 14 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to delivering exceptional respiratory therapy across various settings, including acute, subacute, and outpatient care. My expertise lies in patient education, chronic respiratory disease management, and promoting pulmonary health within diverse populations. I am committed to improving health outcomes through education, prevention, and community collaboration.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Lead Respiratory Therapist and Subacute Manager, where I managed pulmonary interventions and directed operations for respiratory units. My achievements include mentoring new staff, leading quality improvement initiatives, and receiving recognition as Employee of the Month and Employee of the Year. I am passionate about enhancing patient care through interdisciplinary collaboration and culturally competent practices.
