Student Profile
Renee
I have always felt drawn to be a medical assistant. When I researched Medical Assistant programs, they all sounded great, the only downfall was the cost. I thought that I would have to bury myself in school debt in order to reach my goal, and as a single mother that just was not an option for me, until I found Placer School for Adults. PSA made it easy to afford and enroll. They offered me a new career path while still being able to provide for my child. I have successfully completed their CMA program and am now on the career path of my dreams. Now that I have graduated, I work full time and am so extremely proud of myself. I could not have achieved my goal if it was not for PSA
