Lela Kulesh
Lela has worked at NIC for 15 years in Student Services, International Education, the Bookstore, Student Life and Recruitment. In every job, it’s the interactions with students that stand out the most. It gives her great joy to meet former NIC students and hear about their education journeys and career success stories. Helping students is the focus of everything she does and it’s what makes her work rewarding.
Lela attended post-secondary in Vancouver and has taken a variety of classes at NIC, so she understands the student experience. She is an avid Outrigger paddler and loves living on Vancouver Island where there’s always a wave to catch and an abundance of nature to explore.
She looks forward to connecting with people as they navigate their way to becoming a student at NIC.
