What I'm looking for

I am seeking respiratory roles where I can lead clinical teams, manage respiratory programs or provide advanced bedside care in collaborative, fast-paced healthcare settings.

I am a state-registered, fully certified Respiratory Therapist with over a decade of hands-on experience across acute, long-term, pediatric, and homecare settings. I have led respiratory programs, managed equipment and staffing, coordinated multidisciplinary care, and routinely performed advanced respiratory procedures including ventilator management, intubation assistance, and arterial blood gas analysis.

Throughout my career I've completed numerous travel and contract assignments at major health systems, supported LTACH and ICU/NICU/PICU populations, and directed respiratory services for home medical equipment operations. I am analytical, patient-focused, and thrive in fast-paced environments where I can improve patient outcomes and streamline respiratory services.
