We Proudly Present Medical Assistant Graduate Katelyn Lameyer

“Be the kind of person that makes other people want to up their game.” This quote from an unknown author inspired Katelyn Lameyer to achieve her full potential. By enrolling in Rockford Career College's medical assistant program, Katelyn began the path to a brighter future. Her diligent study habits and determination helped her graduate on our Dean's List. We are so proud of Katelyn for stepping up to the challenge and starting her new life as a medical assistant.
