Reaching for Her Dream
Amanda Ramirez started 2018 with a success story worth sharing. The 27-year-old from Oxford is one step closer to her dream job, having completed 300 hours of study in nail technology at the Shilling-Douglas School of Hair Design, LLC in Newark, Delaware this month. Ramirez,who is pictured to the right holding her diploma, had perfect attendance and graduated from her program on January 3.
An employee at Salon Secrets Spa in Kennett Square for about four years, Ramirez has dreamed of being a licensed nail technician, but she struggles with the reading skills needed for the testing. Her supports team arranged for someone to read her the final exam at school. The simple adjustment made all the difference, and these accommodations are planned when Ramirez takes the state exam later this month.
Congratulations and best of luck to Amanda Ramirez!
