Iyana is a focused, driven, and very ambitious young professional who joined Hopeworks in May, ready to accomplish big things! Since then she has completed her training and internship while initially having an outside part-time job and overcoming burnout during those first few months.
Iyana started the GED program while completing her internship and expressed how overwhelmed she became during the process. It wasn’t easy, but she continued to push forward through any doubt she may have had. By believing in herself and trusting the team here, she has successfully completed her GED and is starting a full-time job with Penn Interactive this month!
Congratulations to Iyana, we wish you the best in the future and are excited to see you flourish in the next chapter of your life.
