She graduated a semester early from Oxnard High School in January of 2011 and went on to attend Lu Ross Academy and become a licensed aesthetician. After becoming licensed, she also enrolled at Ventura College and is currently a full-time student who plans to transfer to a four-year college to pursue a nursing degree to become a Registered Nurse. Carriedo also currently works full-time at Origins Natural Skin Care.
The main criteria for the scholarship was for youth who excelled in a career program, intend to pursue higher education, and overcame diversity or a personal challenge.
The NFTE program is part of the Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) funded by the Workforce Investment Board of Ventura County and has operated for seven years. More than 160 Oxnard and Port Hueneme youth received WIB-supported services through NFTE and other programs for education, employment and life-skills training in 2011.
