I conduct pediatric and adult sleep studies and optimize PAP therapy.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At SSM Health, I conduct comprehensive adult and pediatric polysomnographic studies, monitor signal quality, and administer CPAP, BiPAP, ASV, and oxygen interventions based on real-time data.
I've also supported sleep diagnostics at The Sleep Clinic, where I administered, scored, and staged overnight studies and documented respiratory, cardiac, limb movement, and arousal events under AASM protocols. I use Epic EMR and sleep-system platforms including Somnostar, Compumedics, and Natus to maintain accurate clinical documentation.
My earlier hospital experience in phlebotomy and bedside patient care helps me bring calm, empathetic support to patients throughout complex testing and treatment.
