SHOWCAREER INFORMATION Photo of Lilia Pasqual "Taking Fitness and Health Promotion at Fanshawe gave me the confidence and the qualification to begin a career in the health industry as soon as I graduated. The faculty are very invested in the success of the students and the combination of lecture and lab allows ample collaboration with both peers and professors. Many of the professors are currently active in the industry and provide unique and valuable insights into the current trends. I successfully challenged my CSEP-CPT after graduating and was accepted to the University of Guelph-Humber Kinesiology Bridge program. I am currently a part-time personal trainer while completing my degree. The knowledge and the connections I gained at Fanshawe have been assets every step of the way."
