When did you first discover an interest in Advertising?

I was an account manager for an automotive service company and realized I needed to do something I’m interested in. Advertising is one of the few industries that will live forever and the education provides hands-on knowledge that I see myself pursuing.

Why did you choose Sheridan’s Post Graduate Advertising Account Management Program?

Sheridan College is located in the GTA, which offers more opportunities for my future career here. Many famous advertising companies are located in Toronto and the surrounding area. Sheridan maintains long-lasting relationships with those agencies by helping students to step into their dream job and gain real working experience, not only textbook knowledge.

How are you finding your experience at Sheridan?

Our professors have plenty of experience in the advertising industry, so they teach us more than what’s in the textbook. They share their real experiences, which helps students quickly adapt to the working world after graduation.

What advice would you give to someone who is considering Sheridan’s Post Grad Advertising Account Management program?

Take a program you really like and enjoy your school experience. Classes offer useful knowledge that go beyond our textbooks. There are real class activities and discussions to better immerse yourself in the ways of the industry. If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask for help!
