What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my skills in a supportive environment, focusing on patient care and professional growth.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Registered Respiratory Therapist with eight years of quality experience in both hospital and home care settings. My expertise spans across pediatric, adult, and geriatric respiratory care, where I have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of each patient demographic. I am committed to providing high-quality respiratory therapy and education, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care.

Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles, including Shift Leader and charge therapist, where I have honed my leadership skills by delegating tasks and mentoring less experienced therapists. My experience includes emergency deployments during the COVID-19 crisis, providing critical care in high-pressure environments, and working closely with patients suffering from complex respiratory conditions. I pride myself on my quick critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which are essential in emergency situations.
