My name is Don Carlo Trinidad.  I was born in New York, but was raised in San Francisco my entire life. I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters.  I have always had an interest in science ever since I can remember.  I have entered numerous science fairs, volunteered at the SF Zoo, and at Laguna Honda Hospital.   I attended City College of San Francisco with a major in Nursing.  I also concurrently completed an EMT training program.  Using my EMT license allowed to work in various hospitals in the bay area.

    I decided on pursuing a career in Respiratory Care because while working in hospitals and Home Care (QUEST HEALTHCARE), I got an in depth knowledge on what a vital role an RCP plays in healthcare.  Ever since working as a Respiratory Technician, I knew that I would eventually find myself enrolled in a Respiratory program. 

    I am very excited in learning that I have been elected to represent my class in our Respiratory Club at Skyline College.  I can only see my ascent up the political ladder being a positive experience.  I hope that I serve my fellow 1st year colleagues well.
