Gicel Garrido

Ms. Garrido completed her AAS in Health Information Technology (HIT) from ASA College in January 2021 and was quickly hired by Columbia University Medical Center as a CMA. Ms. Garrido’s ability to help others during this pandemic was won by her steadfast commitment to education, even during semesters where she was balancing six classes and a full day job. Looking back, she sees one of her English teachers taught her to, “never give up and believe good grades can always be earned with effort and sacrifice.” Now, our hero is focused on her new goal of joining ASA’s Nursing program.
