Shameeka took Attorney Taylor’s classes, used the learning materials, participated in the live discussions, and fully implemented the program — and successfully passed the EDPNA exam.
She credits the course with not only preparing her for the test, but shaping her confidence as she stepped into this new professional path.
“I took your classes, used your learning materials, combined those with your overall program and discussions to pass the EDPNA exam. It all contributed to preparation for the test and shaping me as I start this new career.”
But her success didn’t stop at passing the exam.
Before becoming certified, Shameeka was already putting her training into action. As a Heart Transplant Social Worker, she helped a patient on the transplant waitlist apply for Social Security benefits. Within weeks, he was approved and received his first payment — allowing him to pay his rent and focus on his health instead of financial fear.
When he told her, “You did it — I paid my rent,” it confirmed exactly why this work matters.
Today, Shameeka is building a path that gives her autonomy, flexibility, and the ability to truly change lives — one approval at a time.
