Anastasia initially came to GST Michigan Works! for tuition assistance with the University of Michigan Flint Nursing program. An accident rendered her unable to complete that program. After a six-month recovery, Anastasia shifted her focus to Radiologic Technology. She worked with her Career Coach to build a new training plan. She felt that Radiologic Technology was the best fit for her and began looking into different training centers. She felt that Baker College had the best program and was accepted into their program in July of 2022. GST Michigan Works! supported Anastasia with funding to purchase books, cover tuition, mileage, clothing, and her state exams.

Anastasia graduated from Baker with her associate degree in Radiologic Technology on 12/17/23. She quickly found employment with Michigan Medicine as a Radiology Technician, working 40 hours per week, earning nearly twice the median age for our region!
