Summary

I believe I am a hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry-level as a respiratory therapist. I am ready to help your team achieve company goals because I am a detailed-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. When I was a respiratory therapist student, I was able to visit different hospitals including Deaconess hospital, Valley Hospital, Holy Family Hospital, Sacred Heart Hospital, Regency Hospital, NIACH Hospital and Kadlec hospital. I gained knowledge and skills to work as a future respiratory therapist. At the moment, I am looking forward to maintaining a full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.
