Welcome Feenix to the CN&CO Family!

At CN&CO, we believe in building relationships with people and businesses that inspire us. Our ethos is simple: if we love the people we work with and believe in what they do, it will shine through in our work. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome Feenix to the CN&CO family.

When Jo-anne Hay introduced me to Cara-Jean Petersen, she warned me I was about to meet someone truly inspiring. She wasn’t wrong. Cara’s passion for education and her vision to remove financial barriers for students is contagious. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with her mission, and I knew immediately that Feenix was a perfect fit for us at CN&CO.
