My Project

Help my students take the next step toward their healthcare careers by giving them the hands-on experience they need! A Venipuncture Arm will bridge the gap between theory and practice, allowing them to master essential phlebotomy skills, build confidence, and prepare for certification.

My students are passionate, hardworking, and eager to make a difference in the medical field.

Many come from diverse backgrounds and are determined to overcome challenges in pursuit of their dreams. By supporting this project, you’re not just providing a training tool—you’re investing in the future of healthcare. Let’s empower these future professionals with the skills they need to succeed!
