Healthkick Huron Graduate Now Teaching

A Clinton-area woman has come full circle in her career with Healthkick Huron.

Tanya Thompson was a single mother with a good job in London, but was looking for work closer to home to reduce the hours of the long commute.

Her solution was Healthkick and the opportunity to become a Registered Nurse.

First she had to upgrade her high school education, but the Healthkick course in Seaforth allowed her to continue to work and go to school two days a week for four and a half years.

She completed that course and found work immediately, but had to put a couple of jobs together to make up a full week.

Thompson says with two kids and a house to look after, quitting work to go back to school wasn't an option and Healthkick provided the opportunity she was looking for.

More recently she was offered a teaching position with Georgian College, which delivers the course in Seaforth.    She is now teaching in the same classroom where she was a student not so long ago.
