Making a Dream Come True in Radiology

Cassandra Gomez began her healthcare career at Antelope Valley Medical Center as a Technical Assistant Radiology but she always had dreams of becoming a Radiology Tech. In 2021, she applied for the Rad Tech pathway program through the Education Fund and it felt like a “dream come true.”

She mentions that going back to school full-time, while continuing to work full-time, during a pandemic “was a hard journey for sure, but I stayed focused.” With the support of her Education Fund Career Counselor she completed her course and graduated in June 2023.

Now that she’s confident that Imaging is the career for her she “plans to continue utilizing the Ed Fund to go into CT or Mammography. There are plenty of other opportunities within the Ed Fund that can help me further my education.”
