Student Profile: Kenneth Fernandes

Where did you complete your Undergrad Degree/Diploma and in what subject area?

I completed my Bachelors in Management Studies back in Mumbai, India at St. Xavier’s Autonomous College, with a specialization in marketing. 

When did you first discover an interest in advertising?

After I finished my marketing post grad at Sheridan, I was pursuing a co-op as a digital marketer at a start-up. It was during my co-op that I worked on Out of Home advertising in Toronto and became interested in advertising, so I decided to learn more about the industry.

Why did you choose Sheridan’s Advertising Account Management program?

When I felt the need to learn more about advertising, I immediately thought of Sheridan. It has an outstanding reputation for providing a great education and includes industry learnings that help students gain knowledge and grow in a professional setting. 

How are you finding your experience at Sheridan?

It has been a wonderful journey from the start. The knowledge gained from faculty gears you to work both on the agency and client side. I wish I could stay for a couple more months to absorb all the amazing information Sheridan has to offer.
