Meet the Faculty and Staff
Amy Thomas
Amy Thomas is the department chair of the respiratory care program at the Owens Campus in Georgetown. She began working at Delaware Tech in 1990. Prior to working for the College, Thomas worked full-time as a respiratory therapist and taught as an adjunct clinical instructor for Salisbury University's respiratory care program. She has many future goals involving Delaware Tech and the respiratory care program, and many more after she retires. Outside of the College, Thomas enjoys reading any kind of suspense novel, summer days at the beach, and having a good time playing trivia with friends.
Q: What is your favorite thing about working at Delaware Tech?
"The people at Delaware Tech are so friendly and supportive; not just my great respiratory care department, but everyone in at Delaware Tech works together for a common goal. I also love teaching and the interaction with students. It keeps me invigorated in my work."
Q: Why was it important for you to work at Delaware Tech?
"I am a native Delawarean and Sussex Countian, so I understood the significant positive impact Delaware Tech has on the citizens of the county. In addition, I wanted very badly to teach in a respiratory care program about a profession I love and am very passionate about. When the opportunity arose to develop a program at the Georgetown campus, I jumped at the opportunity. Luckily I was selected and have been loving it ever since!"
Q: What changes have you seen in yourself since you started working here?
"Professionally, tremendous growth in teaching ability and advising and mentoring students and faculty are probably the things that really top the list. I just love seeing the students from the start of their college career to entry into the profession and then how successful they become as a professional respiratory therapist."
Q: What does student success mean to you?
"Taking students that may not have a great understanding of what a college experience is, and helping them grow academically and professionally. The mentoring and teaching parts of my job are my favorite things to do."
