Summary
Registered Respiratory Therapist with experience in neonatal, pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patient bases. Through the University of Utah (a Trauma 1 center) I have been equipped for cardiovascular, neurologic, burn, general medical, and trauma critical care. Through Medic Sleep Care I have been provided the privilege to offer in-depth patient and family education and whole body health, treatment, and prevention. Through the Air Force I have been well trained in rapid assessment, teamwork, discipline, and leadership. I am adaptable, trainable, incredibly outgoing and dedicated, and am unflinching under pressure. I also have a love for learning, and look forward to the opportunity to grow and share in that knowledge. Let's be effective and exceptional together!
