3 STUDENT STORY Monique Londono Community Health Worker Graduate Monique Londono graduated from our Community Health Worker program. She is a mother of three. Her reason for choosing the Community Health Worker Program was seeing the great need for access to healthcare in the community, the need for medical attention, and the extensive language barriers that many immigrants have to face. She wanted the opportunity to learn more about how she could make a difference in her community, and this program provided her with the tools to achieve her goals. Monique liked the respect that the professors had for her as a student, and the understanding that came from her interactions with them. The program gave Monique the opportunity to complete an internship that led to direct employment in the field. She was offered a position after completing her two week internship program. She states that her new work life is busy yet exciting, and she loves how everyone is treated equally at the office, regardless of their position. She recommends that students looking to be successful in this field have the following skills: Patience Great communicator Outspoken Team player Non-judgmental Her advice for students looking to get into this field: Take the course seriously if you want to succeed.
