Her Story
About Sandra
Sandra Walker has built a career in healthcare focused on supporting individuals in need. After decades in customer service positions across various industries, she transitioned into healthcare roles assisting Medicare patients, where she developed a passion for patient education and care. Motivated by her own recovery journey of 16 years clean, she returned to school and graduated with a diploma in addiction and mental health counseling following a 10-month program. Walker now channels her experience into community reach-outs, providing food and clothing to the homeless while preparing to pursue a master's degree. She credits her achievements to self-reliance, refusing to quit despite challenges, and draws on the advice to keep moving forward as everything prepares one for greater purpose.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Sandra
01What do you attribute your success to?
I did this all by myself without family or friend support. I refused to feel like a loser and never quit no matter how hard the journey. My grades are off the roof now and I'm very pleased.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Keep moving forward, do not quit. Quitting is not an option. No matter how tough and how hard that journey, that road is, always remember everything that you're going through is not for nothing, it's in preparation for something.
