Parris completed OBT’s Pharmacy Technician training, but missed the passing score on her certification exam by just a few points. With encouragement from her case manager, peer tutoring, and her own hard work, she took the exam again and passed!

Today, Parris works as a licensed pharmacy technician and has returned to as a tutor for future cohorts. She also recently shared her story with new students, offering advice on how to stay focused through challenges.

Parris’s journey has come full circle: she received support when she needed it and is now helping others move toward their goals.

Join us in celebrating her determination and generosity! 👏
