Summary
I am a diligent and hard working respiratory student with a solid foundation in respiratory care principles and techniques. I am thoroughly enjoying my time currently as a respiratory tech at Children's of Mississippi and I cannot wait to grow as a therapist and continue to learn with the years to come. UMMC has been an amazing location to learn as a student during my clinicals, both adult and pediatric, and I would be very blessed to be able to call this establishment home.
