Then, I was recruited to work for Zonare Medical Systems Inc. to work as an applications specialist. My territory included the west half of the U.S. This same company offered me a position to work as the international clinical marketing and education manager responsible for all of Europe, the Middle East and Africa."

“My first experience at community college was taking ESL classes at Richland and Brookhaven, which were close to where I lived. Then when I started exploring what kind of program I wanted to take for a career change, I saw Medical Laboratory Technology and transferred to El Centro ... I always tell people who are thinking about community college to think about Medical Laboratory Technology, and I tell them about my personal experience with the program. It’s a stable job, in a quiet environment with a lot less stress than many other medically related fields, and the people are very friendly and professional. I really love my job.”
