Physiotherapist with ICU and audit experience. Skilled in rehab care, teamwork, and remote collaboration.
What I'm looking for
I am a physiotherapist with over a decade of experience in clinical practice, team coordination, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Throughout my career, I have worked in ICUs, emergency care, and home-based rehabilitation programs, integrating respiratory therapy and functional recovery strategies. As a physiotherapy auditor for a major health insurance provider, I reviewed and approved physiotherapy procedures and reports, ensuring quality standards and cost-effective care.
My international journey includes professional experience in Australia and advanced academic training in Respiratory Therapy in Canada, which enhanced my English fluency, adaptability, and cultural awareness. I am passionate about digital healthcare, rehabilitation technology, and patient education. Returning to Brazil, I aim to apply my global perspective and clinical expertise to remote or hybrid opportunities in healthcare, education, or data-driven medical support.
