After working in Radiation Oncology for 17 years, and at 40 years old, I decided it was time for a career change. I spent months researching schools in my area. Upon my first visit at the Mississippi Institute, I knew this was the school for me. The staff was so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I knew that I would get a quality education. I always had an interest in skin care. At Mississippi Institute I found I have a PASSION for it! At times it wasn’t easy driving the 100 miles a day or leaving my 3 children and husband, but the staff at the Mississippi Institute always lifted me up! They were instrumental in getting me through those tough days. Thank you Mississippi Institute for giving me the start to endless opportunities, and for giving me a career that I look forward to going to everyday!
I love that learning in class didn’t feel like a chore. It was always a blast. And though it was a very professional environment, there was always fun waiting around the corner. The instructors never left our side and when I had a question I was never afraid to ask. The people of MS Institute are responsible for the professional Aesthetician I am today.
Everyone wants to shine. The MIANC has given me this opportunity through their outstanding knowledge in the field of cosmetology. The amazing instructors provided me with the confidence and skills I needed to succeed not only as a student, but as a professional!
