WHY CNA?

Both of my parents are originally from Central Newfoundland and Labrador, and I have extended family throughout the province. Choosing to study at CNA was also a personal choice a way to reconnect with my family’s home region while building toward my future.

I initially moved to Newfoundland to attend CNA in person. I wanted to fully experience the program, the province, and the people. I gave it an honest shot, but ultimately, I realized that long-term life in Canada wasn’t the right fit for me.

After returning to Houston, Texas, I’ve continued my studies part-time with CNA while working and gaining leadership experience. I’m still on track to graduate in Spring 2026, and I’m applying what I learn directly to my work environments here.

As a Canadian citizen, I’m not considered an international student. That means I receive local tuition rates and avoid the high costs of U.S. college programs. CNA gave me access to a high-quality education at a fraction of the cost — without compromising on structure or professionalism.

I chose CNA because it offers applied learning, policy-driven coursework, and career-focused HR training. The Human Resource Management concentration is practical, grounded, and tailored to real-world job roles exactly what I was looking for.
