Mrs. Anahi
Lead Instructor

From a young age, I was inspired by watching my mother and the nurses who cared for my ill grandfather. Their compassion sparked my dream of becoming a nurse. With the encouragement of my mother-in-law, who pushed me to pursue this calling, I entered the nursing field and began a journey that has now spanned over 13 years. 

I have worked as a Licensed Vocational Nurse {LVN} for more than a decade, with seven of those years dedicated to teaching. After earning my Career Technical Education teaching credential, I discovered a passion for training and mentoring aspiring nurse, guiding them toward their own professional goals. I am also currently working toward becoming a Registered Nurse {RN}, furthering my education and advancing my ability to care for others. My life is grounded in service, education, and care whether for patients, students, or my community. Outside of work and volunteering, I find joy in nature and animals, which continually remind me of the importance of compassion, patinece, and balance.

Lead Nurse Instructor

Like thousands of young people, I began my educational journey with four years of college but was unable to complete my degree due to time constraints and family responsibilities. Over time, I discovered that vocational and career colleges could provide similar or identical programs to traditional Universities, but in a more accelerated format. For dedicated students, this path allows them to complete their education in less that half the time, which motivated me to continue pursing my goals. 

For over 20 years, I have also devoted myself to volunteering with an international community service organization, where I worked to help families and individuals build resilience, improve their outlook on life, and connect with vital resources. I also served as a liaison with local hospital, creating partnership that strengthened community health. In 2010, I entered the healthcare as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and found deep fulfillment in helping patients heal physically and emotionally. I later advanced to Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), and five years later that, I earned my Career Technical Ed Certification, which allowed me to teach. For the past 8 years, I have been privileged to train aspiring CNAs & LVNs while continuing my own professional growth. I am currently halfway through my journey toward becoming a Registered Nurse (RN). It would be a true privilege to help the next generation of healthcare professionals begin their wonderful careers.
