While working as a licensed insurance agent, Jennifer Scott always felt as though she was helping people.  But she wanted to make a larger difference in people’s lives with her work. 

“I was at the point in my life that I was ready to make a change,” she said.

Scott came to PTC and met with a counselor looking for a program that was a fit.  She was directed to the Massage Therapy Program and met with Michelle Liggett, program director.
