Meet Our Director
Kiki Mattress, CRNA started her healthcare career as a nursing assistant — not knowing where it would take her. Today she runs her independent contractor anesthesia practice and serves as Founder and Director of The Center for Advancement & Learning in Simpsonville, SC.
She built the CAL because she knows what it's like to start from the beginning, balance family, and still make the leap. The CNA program isn't just a class — it's the first step in a bigger plan. Come to the info session. Ask the hard questions. Then get to work.
