Career Break


During my career break, I continued my USCI CCMA program virtually. After graduating from the program in February of 2024,  I passed the NHA's Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam and obtained my BLS certification from AHA. However, the most rewarding aspect of spending these few short months remotely was the opportunity to be a hands-on mom at home!
