Meet the Vice President for the CO2025, RJ.
RJ joined the Respiratory Therapist program at TTC because he wanted to pursue a career in heath care and the RT program stood out to him. His interest grew further after researching the field of Respiratory Therapy, and his excitement grew for his future RT career. Outside of class RJ is a husband and father, he says that it is always an adventure at his home. Apart from his family life, RJ likes to fish, watch baseball, and read. When asked about his hopes for the Respiratory Program at TTC, RJ expressed that he hopes to grow awareness for Respiratory Therapy as a career and he believes that this cabinet and his class have the ability to shine a light on this program and get people excited. RJ says the most challenging thing about beginning RT school has been balancing the work load of his classes along with the expectations of everyday life, parenting 7 children, one of which is a newborn baby boy. Something that RJ highlights as a “fun” part of this program is working hard to master the lab portion of a class and the knowledge and skill “clicking” together. At this point in the program, RJ says the coolest thing he has learned has been about arterial blood gasses and how you can create a diagnosis by interoperating them.
