From Passion to Profession – Bianca’s Path to Medical Esthetics

In celebration of our convocation 2023, and the opportunity for us to finally be together and celebrate in person after three years, we asked our graduates to share their Anderson College experience.

Asking, “How has Anderson College changed your life?” prompted over a hundred submissions … this is one of those extraordinary student stories.

We hope this reflection moves you, as it has our Anderson family, and inspires you to ever embrace the career and life you imagine and, truly, deserve.

I became more of me and less of what society wanted me to be. Anderson College changed me for the better, as my experience empowered me to learn and grow and become a better human being and professional.
