Buba
Buba, a 24-year old mother of an 8-year-old daughter, was fleeing a violent environment in Eritea, Africa when she entered the United States as a refugee. Determined to succeed, Bubba enrolled in the Polysomnography program at the College of DuPage through WIOA grant funded assistance. She maintained an honors student status throughout the program, graduating with a GPA of 3.75. Buba is currently working at Stroger/Cook County Hospital, earning $28 per hour with full benefits. Buba is enjoying her new position and has a positive outlook for her future.
Buba is thankful for the assistance she received from her Career Counselor Keri at workNet DuPage, who supported Buba throughout her journey. “I want to tell you I could not have done it without your help. Thanks for being very caring. You’re truly a blessing,” Buba says.
