Building a Career as a Single Mom

Hi. My name is Ashley. I’m the single mother of two beautiful children ages seven and twelve. I’ve always been a single mom. I never went to college, and up until a few years ago I found it very difficult to find work. When I was able to find work, the pay was minimal. I wanted and needed to find a career that would be satisfying and bring in more money. I heard about a local trade school that specialized in the medical field.

Upon completion, the school even helped me find work! I would like to share more about my trade school experience and how it got me into a career I love.
