Originally from Colombia, Lucia chose Niagara College – Toronto for its International Business Management Graduate Certificate program and its location close to parks, restaurants, banks, and public transit – everything an international student needs, right in the heart of Toronto. In studying at NCT, Lucia found not just a place to learn, but a home away from home. Living alone as an international student in a new city, she felt the NCT community become like a family to her, spending time with fellow students and teachers, experiencing new cultures, perspectives and making lasting contacts and connections. With qualified faculty members, supportive NCT staff, services and programs, Lucia loved that NCT was always thinking about the well-being of its students. Now a passenger service supervisor at Toronto Pearson International Airport, Lucia continues to grow professionally in the aviation industry and work towards building her career as a businesswoman in the travel industry.
