Meet Barbara: Veteran and Future Business Owner

 Lancaster, PA

“HACC has given me the confidence to further my education and work towards my goal of starting my own business.”

When Barbara Bowman was an active-duty Marine, it was difficult to further their education, because of job duties and the demands of raising two children. After separating from the Marines, Barbara went through a divorce and became a single parent. Barbara said, “It’s been a rough road raising my children, working and going to school.”

The good news is that Barbara found HACC. “Starting at HACC gave me the confidence to move [forward] and pursue a dream I have,” they said.
