What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a collaborative healthcare environment that fosters growth.

I am a registered respiratory therapist with a strong commitment to providing quality patient care. My clinical experience includes adult resuscitation, therapeutic interventions, and the administration of oxygen and aerosol therapies. I have actively participated in rapid responses and code blues, demonstrating my ability to perform under pressure and contribute effectively to a healthcare team.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in patient assessment, treatment delivery, and ventilator management. I have assisted in intubation and extubation procedures, participated in physician rounds, and provided pulmonary hygiene and suctioning. My educational background includes an AAS in Respiratory Therapy from McLennan Community College, equipping me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in this field.
