CONROE — For Samantha, a career in healthcare isn’t just a job—it’s a calling to make a difference in the lives of others. But pursuing that dream came with challenges, including the financial burden of training and certification.
With Volunteers of America Texas, Samantha found the support she needed to stay focused and move forward. She recently completed her phlebotomy certification, made possible by funding through the program and consistent guidance from her VOA Texas coach.
“My coach provided exceptional support throughout my training,” Samantha said. “The mentorship and guidance helped me navigate the complexities of the program and ensured I had the resources needed to succeed.”
Through coaching, accountability, and financial relief, Samantha was able to fully engage in her training and stay on track. Now a certified phlebotomist, she’s already setting her sights on additional credentials to further expand her career in healthcare.
Her message to others considering the program is clear: “Remain focused on your goals and don’t be deterred by challenges. This is an investment in your future, and overcoming obstacles along the way makes the achievement even more rewarding.”
VOA Texas empowers aspiring professionals like Samantha with the tools and encouragement needed to step confidently into careers that change lives—their own, and those they serve.
