“Team Restore recently had the privilege of supporting an incredible student on her journey from working as a housekeeper to becoming a Clinical Medical Assistant—all while earning a well-deserved $3/hour raise! Sharing success story for Irma C., recent 207 MA grad. She reports she was hired for Pediatrics CMA role with UT Health.

At 46, with English as her second language, she faced challenges head-on. She showed up outside of class time on Saturdays, put in extra effort, and lifted up her classmates along the way. After years of investing in her family, this was finally her time to shine. And shining she is!

Her journey isn’t just about hard work—it’s about teamwork. Every person on our team played a role in helping her reach this milestone, proving that when we support, guide, and believe in our students, incredible things happen.

And the best part? Irma promises that after she has established herself, she will come back to mentor and inspire the next generation of CMA students, proving that success isn’t just about reaching your goals—it’s about helping others do the same.”
