Danielle is a medical billing assistant and single mother to her teenage son. They currently rent a home in Daly City. She hopes to earn a certification in health information management so that she can transition into a remote medical coding role that offers higher pay and stability for her family. The soaring cost of living in the Bay Area makes every dollar count, and rigid class schedules conflict with her caregiving responsibilities. She is also wary of taking on student loan debt that could add more financial pressure.
