What I'm looking for

I’m actively seeking new opportunities in the remote field.

At WakeMed North Hospital, I delivered respiratory care across the Emergency Department, Special Care Nursery, PACU, and adult general floors. I managed neonatal ventilators, CPAP, high-flow nasal cannula, and oxygen hoods, and attended high-risk deliveries.

With Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, I transported critical neonates and pediatric patients by ground, fixed wing, and rotor wing. I’ve also supervised staff as Interim Respiratory Therapy Manager at Riverside Home Care Center and provided acute and critical respiratory care across adult, pediatric, and neonatal settings.
