What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values patient care and offers growth opportunities in respiratory therapy.

I am a dedicated respiratory therapist with extensive experience in providing care to adult patients with respiratory diseases. At SunMar Healthcare, I have honed my skills in ventilator management, patient education, and collaboration with medical staff to ensure optimal treatment plans. My commitment to patient care is reflected in my ability to perform complex procedures such as trach changes and nebulized treatments while monitoring vital signs and administering oxygen therapy.

Prior to my current role, I worked as a Pulmonary Function Technician at Administrative Resources, where I conducted comprehensive pulmonary function tests, including spirometry and lung volume assessments. My educational background includes an Associate of Science in Respiratory Therapy from San Joaquin Valley College, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in this field. I am also certified in Basic Life Support, Pediatric Advanced Life Support, and Advanced Cardiac Life Support, ensuring I am prepared for any situation that may arise in a clinical setting.
