Self-described bookworm Dusya Lyubovskaya always wanted to work in a science lab, but she put that dream on hold when she dropped out of high school to help support her family after they came to the U.S. from Russia. Years later, when she was still working two jobs to make ends meet, she decided it was time for a change.

Thanks to JVS Boston, a community organization supported by Citizens through LISC, Lyubovskaya got the support she needed to launch her dream career. With help from JVS, she got a high school diploma, new digital skills, and completed a biotechnology career pathway program while earning a college certificate. She then went on to complete an associate’s degree in biology.

Today, Lyubovskaya has a job creating chemicals to help keep nuclear power stations safe around the world. “I want to keep going,” she said. “I just want to go to the laboratory, work with my team, and do something productive and beautiful.”
