What Others Are Saying About Beacon Hill
Extremely Knowledgeable
Ms. K is extremely knowledgeable regarding the field! She shared eye-opening stories that we might potentially encounter in the field. Can definitely say I learned something that will be beneficial when it’s time for me to pursue my career in the hospital. She is certainly someone who you can not forget, sticks with you and just impacts you in a good way. If there is a book based on her life and experiences, I would be the first to purchase!!! Thank you, Ms. K!
