I am proficient in providing conscious sedation during procedures such as EGD, Colonoscopy, Bronchoscopy, Cardiac Catheterization and Transesophageal Echocardiogram. I have circulated general anesthesia cases such as ERCP, EBUS, and DCCV. I am also a proud Veteran of the US Army serving as a combat medic in support of Operation Desert Storm. Currently, I am working PRN in a fast-paced 26 bed Intensive Care Unit providing care to patients and their families during the Covid pandemic. Myfull time job is in the Cardiac Cath Lab at Floyd Medical Center in Rome, Ga.
