What I'm looking for

With experience in various healthcare settings, I have honed my skills in delivering oxygen therapy, performing bronchopulmonary hygiene techniques, and interpreting vital diagnostic tests. My commitment to providing exceptional care is evident in my ability to educate patients and their families about disease management techniques, ensuring they understand their treatment plans.

Throughout my career, I have worked in multiple reputable institutions, including National Jewish Health and The Medical Center of Aurora. My experience includes caring for patients on mechanical ventilation, assisting with intubations and extubations, and providing neonatal care during deliveries and resuscitations. I am passionate about improving patient outcomes and thrive in collaborative environments where teamwork and communication are paramount.
