As a registered respiratory care practitioner and AACVPR certified pulmonary rehabilitation specialist, I have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field of COPD. My passion for improving patient outcomes and increasing awareness of the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation has led me to become a Pulmonary Disease Educator.
In my role as a COPD Captain, I am committed to building a strong network of healthcare professionals, patient advocates, and community leaders to advocate for policies and funding that support COPD patients and the pulmonary rehabilitation programs that benefit them. I believe that by working collaboratively with others who share my passion, we can make a significant impact on the lives of patients with COPD.
Through my advocacy efforts, I am determined to increase awareness of the program among patients and healthcare providers. I understand that the success of any program or initiative requires a team effort, and I am dedicated to working towards our shared goals of improving patient outcomes and advocating for those who are living with COPD. I want to help patients find their best life with COPD — a life with health, happiness, and hope.
In my free time, I'm an EMS instructor, firefighter, EMT, and member of Search and Rescue Team. On occasion you'll find me hosting a Better Breathers class, or teaching wilderness EMS or BLS/ACLS classes throughout the state of Oregon.
