Registered Respiratory Therapist specializing in critical care ventilation and emergencies.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) with hands-on experience across MICU, SICU, CCU, NICU, ER, and PED settings. I bring a steady, patient-first approach to emergency airway support, ventilator care, and rapid clinical decision-making.
In my current role at New York Presbyterian of Queens, I’ve built strong expertise in intubation during cardiac arrests and emergency conditions. I manage ventilator settings (Servo U, Servo I, PB 840, V60, Airvo, Oscillator, LTV) in alignment with ABGs, supporting consistent respiratory outcomes.
I’m also experienced in advanced therapies and care workflows, including setting up and calibrating nitric oxide and providing targeted treatments like oxygen therapy, aerosolized medication treatments, postural drainage and percussion, and heliox therapy. I follow structured respiratory therapist initiate weaning protocols, including extubations, while maintaining safe equipment handling and compliance.
Earlier experience at St. Barnabas Hospital and Silvercrest center for Nursing & Rehabilitation strengthened my ability to support both adult and pediatric needs, including ICU ventilator set-ups, intubation assistance, and ventilator-dependent patient checks (vitals and ventilator flow sheets). I’m BLS-, PAL-, and ACLS-certified, and I take pride in delivering calm, competent care during high-stakes moments.
