What I'm looking for

I seek a Registered Respiratory Therapist role in a collaborative hospital setting to apply critical-care skills (ventilator management, ABGs, codes), lead education initiatives, and grow while delivering exceptional patient care.

I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) with Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) and Medical Clinical Assistant credentials, dedicated to delivering patient-centered respiratory care in high-acuity settings.

I have clinical experience assisting with endotracheal intubations, rapid response and code blues, arterial blood gas analysis, mechanical ventilation, EKGs, aerosol therapy, and patient care across ICU, emergency, pediatrics and labor & delivery units. I developed therapeutic and diagnostic skills during externships and hospital roles and apply evidence-based practice to clinical decision-making.

I have been recognized on academic honor lists and am an active contributor to team education and competency programs as a clinical specialist. I bring strong technical proficiency (ventilator management, ABG analysis, EKGs, Microsoft Office), clear communication, and a collaborative, growth-oriented work ethic.
