What brought you to Fanshawe?

Other than the welcoming atmosphere of Fanshawe College overall, they were one of the first post-secondary institutions to offer a Digital Marketing Degree. The small class sizes and course structure look to ensure that students learn useful software and obtain certificates that will benefit them in their fields. The incorporation of a semester of COOP allows students to develop work experience, build their network, and fine-tune their skills in their field of study prior to graduation. Providing opportunities both inside and outside of the business industry students enter the job market equipped with training in specialized digital marketing platforms.

What are you up to now?

I am currently working as a Digital Marketing Coordinator with the Canadian Olympic Committee. I work primarily with Game Plan the COC's athlete wellness program where we look to support Canadian Olympic, Paralympic and National team athletes live a more holistic lifestyle throughout all stages of their careers. I have worked as a contractor with the COC for a little over a year now and due to the COOP portion of the Degree program, I was able to secure this position prior to my graduation date.
