President's Excellence in Leadership Achievement
This year's recipient of the prestigious FFF President's Excellence in Leadership Achievement Award is Samantha Winsor.

Samantha grew up in the Goulds and graduated from St. Kevin's high school. Samantha is graduating from the 3rd year of the Electronics Engineering Technology (Biomedical) Program. Her first year was online due to the pandemic, but since starting in person classes at CNA, she has been heavily involved in the student council. She has been the Secretary of the Student Representative Council (SRC) for Ridge Road Campus for the last two years. She has been a CNA Student Union (CNASU) member for 2 years and was elected CNASU President this year. She is also the Canadian Federation of Students Local 46 Representative (CNASU is Local 46).
