Summary
While relatively new to the Respiratory Therapy field, I have a passion for helping people. I obtained extensive knowledge of different respiratory therapy practices during my many clinical placements through the valley. I was also trained for the general floors and ER at my last employer, and enjoy emergency medicine. I’m hungry to learn and be the best practitioner I can be.
