Meet BTC’s Featured Student of the Month, Leeann Rende!
Boardman Training Center (BTC) is excited to introduce Leeann Rende, our featured student of the month!
Leeann is a student in the Phlebotomy program at BTC, where she is learning the skills and knowledge needed for her future career as a phlebotomist. Leeann says she has known she wanted to pursue a career in phlebotomy since high school: “I have always been interested in blood draws and testing.”
Needing an accelerated training program that would provide her with the essential knowledge and skills for her future career, Leeann turned to the Boardman Training Center. “I came here to talk and take a tour, and I loved the people here,” she said.
When asked about her favorite part of attending BTC, she highlighted the staff, her classmates, and the learning environment. “Everyone is great here, and you learn so much,” Leeann said. Her favorite class in her education so far is her phlebotomy class taught by instructor Allyson Kerr. “Ally is so awesome, and is very caring, and has an awesome personality.”
When she thinks about her future, Leeann is excited to begin her new career as a phlebotomist. She feels that Boardman Training Center has prepared her to take the next step in her career. “[BTC has prepared me with] knowledge of phlebotomy, how to be professional, and not to worry if you have questions,” she said.
Once she completes the phlebotomy training program at BTC, Leeann will be prepared to sit for the National Healthcareer Association Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT)* certification exam. She hopes the combination of her skills, knowledge, experience, and certification will allow her to become employed at a local hospital, where she can have a stable career helping others.
Leeann’s advice for anyone who is considering furthering their education at Boardman Training Center is to “be yourself and study.” BTC’s accelerated healthcare programs are designed to equip you with the hands-on experience and knowledge you need to be successful in the healthcare industry in a matter of weeks.
