What do you attribute your success to?
Mother and Mentors She started as a Medical Assistant in 2009 at Lynn Community Health Center and worked for 6 years before becoming an RN. The nurses there, which she endearingly referred to as her Golden Girls, encouraged her to return to school to become an RN, took her under their wings, and helped her every step of the way. She says she would not be where she is today if it hadnt been for their incredible support and belief in her.
