Where did you complete your Undergrad Degree/Diploma and in what subject area?
I completed my Undergrad Degree from Delhi University, India where I pursued Advertising as my major subject.
When did you first discover an interest in Advertising?
I was in Grade 11 when I developed an inclination for Media. I remember my mother would constantly complain about my addiction to the digital world back then when only Yahoo Messenger and Orkut existed. But I knew at the back of my mind that I wanted to do something in Media, it was after the board exams that I studied Advertising, believing this might be the right profession for me.
Why did you choose Sheridan’s Advertising Account Management Program?
I decided that I either wanted to go to Canada or Australia. I then started my research and ticked down three best advertising colleges from both countries. After further research and with my counselors’ help, I applied to Sheridan College.
How are you finding your experience at Sheridan?
The experience has left me spellbound. We are taught everything that a potential boss would teach us at an agency. The assignments are created in such a way that we are working for various clients creating campaign ideas and pitches.
What advice would you give to someone who is considering our Post Graduate Program?
This 8-month program helps you gain more knowledge in the advertising field and helps you develop and improve your skills.
What would you consider your main areas of interest and expertise as a result of your learning in the Program so far?
My main area of interest and expertise would be Account Services. If only my math or art were a little better, I would have taken up Media or Creative respectively.
