I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist with over 15 years of experience providing primarily inpatient services and occasional outpatient therapeutic services. Adept at managing COPD, sleep apnea, congestive heart failure and other chronic conditions. Skilled in instructing patients and caregivers about proper use, maintenance and safety of respiratory equipment. I have over 10 years experience in adult ICU, emergency care, and level 2 NICU. I spent time as a Respiratory Clinical Instructor, am a charge therapist, and have worked every shift imaginable!
I am always willing to help out and jump in wherever the need is, from respiratory duties to 1:1s to ED tech, you name it! I enjoy using critical thinking skills and working in fast paced environments such as ICU and ED but also do well in floor care, patient education and clinical research.
I love what I do, I love to learn and I look forward to what the next 15+ years in Respiratory have in store!
