What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my expertise in respiratory therapy while fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.

Currently, I am responsible for training individuals on various respiratory equipment at Hill-Rom, where I ensure that both patients and healthcare professionals are equipped with the necessary skills for effective respiratory management.

My experience at El Paso Children’s Hospital has further honed my expertise in critical care, allowing me to work proficiently with advanced ventilators and handle high-pressure situations with professionalism. I have a solid foundation in both respiratory therapy and embalming, having worked in diverse settings that require a compassionate approach and technical proficiency. My educational background, including a Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy, complements my practical skills and certifications, ensuring I remain at the forefront of patient care.
