Nathalie Carranza

My friend Alma, she has been my number one supporter through it all. She would babysit my kids for hours while I studied and went to class. When I didn't have a car, she would let me borrow hers so I could attend class or she would drive me there herself. She always kept me motivated and I couldn't have done it without her help. My Ark ladies- Becky, Vanessa, Brittney, Nicole, and Elisia- have also been a great support system. They have been cheering me on since the beginning and always had something positive to say. When I didn't think I could keep going, they kept me feeling confident and motivated. Also, my managers at Menards- Kialani and Alicia. Without their flexibility and understanding I couldn't have been able to attend school, work, and still manage to be a single mother. Thank you!

The flexibility and the unlimited resources that helped me graduate debt free.

Work in a medical office and use my bilingual skills to help the Hispanic community.
