Natasha Trinkle

Trinkle enrolled in WorkOne services in November of 2014 as an in-school youth. At the time, she was 21 years old, in her first semester of a Registered Nurse (RN) program and was homeless. Throughout her schooling, WorkOne helped Trinkle with tuition, books, uniforms, NCLEX testing and frequent mentoring and counseling. Trinkle graduated from the program, passed her NCLEX and saved enough money to put a deposit on an apartment. With a place to call home and working as an RN, Natasha is now on a path to a better life.
