“I decided to pursue a career in healthcare because I knew it would provide longevity and I wanted to promote equality within the healthcare system.

I have overcome financial difficulties living under the poverty line, and this program gave me the opportunity to acquire new skills.

It also makes me proud that people that look like me can identify similarities and feel at ease when receiving care.

My goal now is to attend nursing school to grow further in the healthcare industry. Thank you!”
