A New Beginning: Brianna's Story

When Brianna enrolled in Goodwill San Antonio’s Pharmacy Technician program, she was looking for an opportunity to build a better future.

Over the next eight months, Brianna worked hard to complete the program, including mastering the math skills required for a career in pharmacy.

Today, Brianna is working as a pharmacy technician at H-E-B, earning a higher salary, and enjoying the independence that comes with moving into her first apartment.

Looking ahead, she hopes to specialize in compounding pharmacy and continue growing in her career. She also hopes her journey inspires her younger cousins and others to pursue opportunities that can help them reach their goals.

Congratulations, Brianna, on this exciting new chapter!
