Mariah has earned a Feeding Assistant and Task Aide Certificate in the first year of the program as well as her certification in American Heart First Aid and CPR.

The instructor, Mrs. Lytle, has said the following about Mariah: “Mariah is a polite, dependable, and conscientious young lady. She has a very good attitude, works diligently, and is a role model for other students. I have enjoyed assisting Mariah with her learning and growth these past two years. I know she will be an asset to the health care field. Her next step is to attend SUNY Canton where she has been accepted in the fall in the Pre-Nursing Program. I wish her the best of luck as she pursues her future endeavors.
