Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan to work as a registered respiratory therapist in an intensive care unit after graduating from my respiratory care program and obtaining my license. After gaining work experience in the respiratory care profession, I aspire to become an academic instructor in a respiratory care program, where I can teach and provide mentorship to students interested in pursuing a career in respiratory care. As a registered respiratory therapist, I will advocate for the respiratory care profession through legislative engagement, promoting public awareness on the importance of respiratory therapists, and seeking to expand the scope of practice of respiratory therapists.

Graduate school interests

I would like to get a Master of Science degree in anesthesia, which would allow me to practice as a certified anesthesiology assistant.

Working out, Soccer and Watching movies.
