Summary
Flexible hard worker ready to learn and contribute to team success. I absolutely love working as a Respiratory Therapist. There is nothing better to me than helping a person during their most scary time and knowing that I can help to make a difference. Though this job can be extremely difficult at times, I can not imagine having any other career. I am a committed and compassionate Respiratory Therapist with experience in both pediatric and adult care settings. I enjoy learning new skills. I believe the medical field is constantly evolving and that there is always a need to gain more knowledge. I am very excited to see where my career in Respiratory Therapy takes me.
