My current role as a Respiratory Therapist in the Neonatal ICU has given me valuable transferable skills.
Through my work I have honed in on how to critically think and it has taught me to stay composed and self-assured in a high stress environment. I’ve also learned to prioritize tasks using big-picture thinking, and working with different teams has helped me communicate ideas clearly, even in high-stakes situations. The only way out, is through.
