Initially, I was intimidated to pursue a degree in Medical Office Administration, but I knew that I loved to help people and that healthcare is a career that would last a lifetime. No matter what, there’s always something new to learn and I love being kept on my toes.

That drew me to the field, but I also decided to return so that I could help my daughter. All this time later, I’m glad I made that choice!

Throughout my journey, I managed to earn my Medical Assisting Diploma and then went on to get my Associate in Medical Office Administration as well. These are no small achievements, and I’m happy I decided to attend Herzing to reach them. Their faculty and staff helped me so much along the way!

I found that Herzing gave me enough time to complete my work, and even if it was a challenge at times, I was still able to plow through my classes! To truly succeed, I found that time management was quite a helpful skill. You can’t succeed in your classes without it!

I found that my case study course was very valuable to my education. In it, I learned how to deal with different situations that might occur in a medical setting. Thanks to this course, I feel that I will be able to navigate my career better now that I know how to deal with a variety of situations. This, combined with my Cultural Diversity course, really makes me feel well-prepared to start my career.

As a grad, moving is on my agenda since my husband is an active military member. Once we relocate to our new duty station, I’m planning on seeking employment in the area. I’m even considering returning to Herzing to get a higher degree depending on how things go!

I want future students to know that you can do anything you put your mind to! It may seem a bit overwhelming in the beginning, but it does get better in the end. The feeling of knowing that you're doing something to better yourself is a great feeling. Continue to strive for more, and don’t give up!
