Daniela’s goal is to become a Medical Assistant.
Daniela is a single mom who has been working with the Fedcap staff in Calais for about two and a half years. She recently gained employment on the Pleasant Point Passamaquoddy Reservation. When staff asked Daniela about her new job, which involves helping people, she told them that her jobs in the past never “called” to her and she wants to make this job a long-term career. For her transition to work, Daniela received aid with mileage, car repairs, and work attire. When Daniela was notified that her TANF benefits were ending, she told staff that it was a great feeling to financially support herself and her daughter without needing to rely on TANF.
