To succeed as a medical office administrator, you need to be both highly organized and deeply caring. You must be motivated by a desire to make a positive difference in the lives of patients.

Chantelle Ducolon exemplifies all of these traits. Her dedication and commitment to delivering the best possible educational experience consistently earns her the respect of her students—and recently, it earned her recognition as Herzing College Ottawa’s instructor of the year!

We caught up with Chantelle this week to get her reflections on the honour, the MOA program, and her own career journey.

## [Sustainable Architecture Instructor Recognized for Excellence](https://blog.herzing.ca/sustainable-architecture-instructor-recognized-for-excellence)

[![Herzing Sustainable Architecture instructor Moncef Noual](https://blog.herzing.ca/hubfs/Moncef%20Noual.jpg)](https://blog.herzing.ca/sustainable-architecture-instructor-recognized-for-excellence)

 Mar 3, 2023, 2:36:37 PM

Herzing College started offering a Sustainable Architecture training program several years ago. This program offers an alternative to people who want to participate in eco-friendly building design, but don't want to invest years in university to become a licensed architect.

Our program trains students in the principles of sustainable architecture and the software and technical skills required to draft architectural designs.

Moncef Noual has been teaching the program since 2017—and was recently recognized as Herzing College Montreal’s instructor of the year! The honour reflects the fact that he really gets to know his students during their tenure with Herzing and goes out of his way to make sure they have the best possible experience from beginning to end.

We chatted with Moncef recently to learn more about his career journey and the sustainable architecture field in general. Here are the highlights of that conversation.

**By Fred Standil**   
**Student Services Advisor at Herzing College**

In this time of rapid change, it is important to take stock of the choices we make and the behaviours we display.

It is rare that a day goes by when we are not exposed to new ways of doing things as we navigate our way through life in 2023. As I have been known to say from time to time, “The only constant is change.”

 Mar 1, 2023, 9:29:00 AM

When you think of a community services worker, you might picture someone helping out in shelters, halfway houses, or youth centres. A high school classroom probably doesn’t come to mind.

But that’s because you haven’t met Sarah Laham.

Sarah completed Herzing’s Community Services Worker program with a stellar GPA and fully expected to follow the typical CSW career path. Instead, she landed a position as an educational assistant in an Ottawa high school—and found it was exactly where she was meant to be.

Here’s her story.

## [Meet Naomi: My Review of the Broadcasting Program at Herzing](https://blog.herzing.ca/meet-naomi-my-review-of-the-broadcasting-program-at-herzing)

[![Broadcasting and Media Communications graduate Naomi Penner](https://blog.herzing.ca/hubfs/Naomi%20Penner.jpg)](https://blog.herzing.ca/meet-naomi-my-review-of-the-broadcasting-program-at-herzing)

 Feb 23, 2023, 9:36:03 AM

After a university experience that didn’t go well and an enjoyable-but-taxing stint as a childcare provider, Naomi Penner knew she wanted something different.

A radio ad for Herzing College caught her attention. Why not pursue a diploma in broadcasting, which she’d been interested in since she was a kid?

This was late 2020, when pandemic restrictions still made traditional classes difficult. Fortunately, Herzing’s program was available online and gave Naomi the flexibility she needed.

She is now the morning show host for Now Country 104.7 and handles social media for three different radio stations in Winnipeg.

We spoke with Naomi recently to learn more about her experience at Herzing and how her career has unfolded since graduation.

## [Meet Kehinde: My Experience in Herzing’s Online OHS Program](https://blog.herzing.ca/meet-kehinde-my-experience-in-herzings-online-ohs-program)

[![OHS grad Kehinde Akande](https://blog.herzing.ca/hubfs/Kehinde%20Akande.jpg)](https://blog.herzing.ca/meet-kehinde-my-experience-in-herzings-online-ohs-program)

 Feb 15, 2023, 9:06:40 AM

When Kehinde Akande came to Canada in 2018, he knew he wanted to pursue additional education.

He already had a chemistry degree and several years of experience in environmental issues, but he was looking to get more into health and safety. After researching several OHS programs, he chose Herzing’s because it was online, flexible, and fast.

It proved to be a good decision. When he graduated in October 2022, he was offered a job as a health and safety advisor—at the same company where he did his internship!

We spoke with Kehinde recently to learn more about his experience. Here’s his story.
