Summary
I have been in respiratory care for the past 18 years and I am currently seeking new experiences and opportunities in the medical field. Although, my past experience has been primarily working in a hospital setting, I look forward to continuing to expand my knowledge into home care. I am a hard worker, learn quickly, and I am extremely passionate about patient care.
