Celina Pellett

From dancer to dairy farmer

When an accident cut short Celina’s dreams of being a professional dancer, she began a traineeship as a dairy farmer. Through Canvas, she balances life on the farm with her coursework from Tocal College.

Coming from a non-agricultural background, the use of Canvas helped me to set where I want to go in life.

Dad, teacher, and Canvas student

After Stephen decided to return to school and pursue a master’s degree, it was a happy surprise to learn that through Canvas, learning entirely online is easy and accessible.
