To Whom It May Concern,

I am a motivated professional with critical thinking proficiency and extensive Registered

Respiratory Therapist Team Lead experience. Recently, I learned of the Registered Respiratory Therapist position and I was compelled to contact you with my interest. I am currently working as Lead Respiratory Therapist at Westside Regional and I would love to be part of the Office of the National Disaster Medical Team. I believe that my professional background and drive make me an ideal candidate for this opportunity.

As a person who thrives in high-pressure and face-paced situations, I strive for positive results through the application of my critical thinking and leadership abilities. Additionally, I possess expertise in customer service and an aptitude for optimizing performance and motivating colleagues. In any position, I can visualize success and identify innovative and effective strategies for achieving it.

During my 8 years of experience, at some of the top hospitals in South Florida, I have honed the skills necessary to succeed in this position. In my current position as Registered Respiratory Therapist Team Lead for Westside Regional Medical Center and Neonatal Registered Respiratory Therapist at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, I have learned the managerial side of Respiratory Care along with the knowledge of managing the tiniest of lives. Having worked in all aspects of Respiratory makes me an ideal candidate for this position.

I have enclosed my resume for your review. I appreciate your time and consideration of my candidacy for the supervisory position.

I am confident that my skills and experience can be of direct benefit to this company. I look forward to meeting with you.

Sincerely,

Natalie T. Ramirez RRT, NPS
