Dominica Arredondo – Medical Assisting Graduate, Amarillo

Dominica Arredondo chose to return to school to create a better life for herself and her children. She enrolled in the Medical Assisting program at Milan Institute in Amarillo determined to build a stable and meaningful career in healthcare.

Dominica describes her experience at Milan as great and says she loved the teachers and the support she received throughout the program. At times, she struggled with self-doubt and felt like she wasn’t doing enough, but she reminded herself that doing her best was enough—and that mindset helped her push through.

Today, Dominica works at Amarillo Family Physician, where she continues to grow in the medical field. One of her favorite memories from school is the laughter and bonds she shared with her classmates, which made the journey even more meaningful.

Looking ahead, Dominica plans to continue her career as a Certified Medical Assistant and eventually pursue nursing. Her advice to future students is encouraging and heartfelt: “Never give up. It may be tough right now, but it will be worth it in the end. Always fight for what you want in life.”
