Vanessa Henry: Finding the way back to her roots
Program: Educational Assistant
Industry: Education
If I could describe Vanessa Henry ‘13 in one word, it would be "inspirational."
Growing up in Hamilton, she knew very little about her background. "I was told ‘I’m native’ and I should be proud of who I am," shares Vanessa, "but I didn’t know what that meant."
Kelsey Hamilton: Grad finds success and purpose in a community support role
Program: Concurrent Disorders
Industry: Health Care
After graduating from Brock University with an undergraduate degree, Kelsey (Warnick) Hamilton ‘12, came to Mohawk College searching for a post-graduate program. She had one clear objective in mind: Gaining experience in the human service field. She decided to join the Concurrent Disorders program, with a goal to help people in her community facing mental health and addiction struggles.
