Leontinae Wilson
✨ Student Spotlight ✨
Leontinae wanted to build a career in cosmetology, but every school she looked into came with a $10,000 to $15,000 price tag. She kept searching, and the answer kept being the same.
Then her kids' school put her on to Abram Friedman Occupational. And that's when everything changed.
Tuition-free. Not a scholarship you have to fight for. Not a payment plan. Free.
She started with Manicuring, got a job before she even finished, and liked it so much she signed up for the year-long Barbering program. Now her Cosmetology crossover is next — and she said the licensing exam wasn't even stressful because Mr. Hernandez and Ms. Loria had her that prepared.
"I floss my school all the time — the teachers, the classes."
Her goal is to learn every corner of this industry and become a teacher someday. And honestly? She's well on her way.
