      Entry Level

      "Having grown up in a rural farming community in a huge family, relating to people is how we entertained ourselves growing up, and this instilled a need for human contact in the career that I chose to pursue. I love working as part of a team where I find myself both willing to learn from others and provide education where I have a level of expertise. You'll also find that I am a great communicator and can work with patients with both empathy and patience."

      Experienced

      "I am the type of person that works the best and performs to my peak when I am working as part of a larger team. Before becoming a Respiratory Therapist, I worked as a shuttle driver, where I spent many long nights by myself, and I quickly found out that wasn't the best field for me. In the healthcare setting as an RT, I love that I get to work with and communicate with patients, nurses, physicians, and fellow therapists daily, and this keeps me motivated to come back for more each day."
