Victoria’s journey began at Penn Valley Community College’s Registered Nurse Program in Kansas City, Missouri. Her college career faltered when she had her first child and needed employment. She thought her dream of working in the healthcare field was over until she came across the School of Phlebotomy website. Victoria was thrilled they offered weekend Medical Assistant programs that worked with her schedule.

Victoria came to the Full Employment Council and met with the Healthcare Coordinator. Victoria applied for and was accepted into the Missouri Healthcare Industry Training and Education (HITE) program. She immediately enrolled in the Medical Assistant program.

HITE helped Victoria through her training by paying for her tuition, providing scrubs, a stethoscope, blood pressure cuff and transportation assistance.
