BreeAnna

Age: 26
Position: Team Member
Employer: The Marriott Chicago
Employed Since: January 2020

Since her engagement in YJC’s Career Pathways Program, BreAnna's passion has been to secure a long-term career in the healthcare sector. From August 2019 through April 2020, BreeAnna participated in Chicago Community Learning Center’s Patient Care Technician Program. During the 8 month training program, BreeAnna gained the medical skills needed to transition into the medical field and earned multiple certifications (Phlebotomy, EKG, and CPR). In April 2020, after completing all the required courses and clinical hours needed to take the national certification exam, BreeAnna successfully passed and received her American Medical Certification Association License as a Patient Care Technician / Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)!

BreeAnna’s ability to balance a part-time job and support her son’s educational needs while simultaneously attending a rigorous medical training program is a testament to BreeAnna’s dedication and perseverance. While BreeAnna’s current employment as a Team Member at The Marriott is only temporary, it is the first step to BreeAnna gaining employment in the medical field. YJC is enthusiastic about the excellent CNA BreeAnna will become and the people she will support in the medical industry.

Congrats BreeAnna making your dreams become a reality!
