Amanda was a single mother struggling to raise her three young children after the death of their father. As a dental assistant earning $45,000 annually, she knew she needed to upskill to earn a livable wage for her single-income family of four. With the help of Arizona Career Pathways, she enrolled in Phoenix College's Dental Hygiene program.
They were also able to assist when she faced unexpected auto repairs. With the burden of these expenses lifted, Amanda was able to focus on school, her three kids and building a better future for her family.
With the support of Arizona Career Pathways, Amanda graduated at the top of her class and is now making nearly double her previous salary at a private dental office. She loves the career she chose and is grateful for the support she received to advance her career.
Since graduating and beginning her new career, Amanda has become a proud homeowner and is now financially independent. She has joined the Arizona Career Pathways Alumni Association and plans to volunteer as a mentor to other dental hygiene students.
