Finding Purpose Through Passion: PLCC Adult Education Student Spotlight
May Spotlight: Esthetician Student – Brittany Schroeder
For Brittany Schroeder, choosing to come to PLCC was about more than starting a new career path; it was about finding hope and purpose during one of the hardest times in her life.
Shortly after the loss of her mother, Brittany says she found herself in a very dark place. But she also knew her mom would want what was best for her, and Brittany was determined to make her proud.
Since she was 10 or 11 years old, Brittany knew she wanted to work in skincare and help people feel confident. That passion led her to the Esthetics program at PLCC, where she says she immediately knew she was exactly where she belonged.
Brittany loves the fast-paced environment and credits her instructor for pushing students to be their very best. She appreciates the detailed demonstrations, hands-on learning, and even the fun review games that make learning both engaging and memorable.
Her commitment to her future is inspiring. Brittany works full-time at Nobles Pond beginning at 6:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, making the evening schedule at PLCC the perfect fit for her busy life.
While she has learned valuable technical skills, Brittany says one of the most meaningful parts of her journey has been the relationships she has built along the way. The support she has received from classmates and instructors has helped encourage her every step of the way.
After passing her State Board exam, Brittany hopes to return to PLCC to continue her education in the Hair Design program. Looking ahead, she dreams of combining her work at Nobles Pond with her passion for esthetics to continue helping and caring for others.
We are incredibly proud of Brittany’s strength, determination, and heart. Her story is a reminder that even during difficult seasons, new opportunities can lead to healing, growth, and purpose.
