Day received her associate's degree from Baker College back in 1986. After that, she spent years doing bookkeeping, administrative work, and accounting. As her youngest child completed college, he had her wear his cap and gown at graduation, standing outside Walsh College. It was then that she decided she would finish her dream. 

Day enrolled with GST Michigan Works! on August 23rd, 2022. She started a 14-month journey attending Northwood University to complete her bachelor’s degree. At the same time, she was attending Macomb Community College to complete classes needed for her CPA license. Day completed 70 credits in 14 months! 

Day is a loving, hardworking mother and wife who raised three children. She has worked even harder in the last 14 months to make her dreams a reality. 

Day took an accountant position at Marlette Regional Hospital in August of 2023. She is working full-time and earning a great wage.  She is adored at work, and has recently received a promotion to Financial Analyst. 

“GST Michigan Works! helped make a path for me to get back into school and helped me with the financial burden,” shared Day. With the devotion she had during her training, she will be successful at anything she puts her mind to. Day is an awesome example of why we do the job we do!
