What I'm looking for

I seek a clinical respiratory role where I can deliver high-quality critical care, mentor students, and grow as a clinical educator in a collaborative hospital environment.

I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) with Neonatal Pediatric Specialty (NPS) certification and extensive hands-on experience across adult critical care, neonatal and pediatric intensive care, emergency room, open-heart ICU, and bedside care. I hold a Bachelor in Cardiopulmonary Science and serve as a clinical associate guiding future respiratory students while functioning as a preceptor and charge therapist.

I maintain current life-support certifications including NRP, BLS, ACLS, and PALS, and have worked at major regional hospitals providing critical-care respiratory therapy, sedation support, and unit coordination. I am patient-focused, skilled at admissions/workflow support, electronic orders entry, and mentoring students and new staff to deliver high-quality respiratory care.
