WE LOOK AT THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY

Once I graduated from the Advertising program at Durham College, I began

my career at Saatchi & Saatchi where I was hired immediately as a Media Assistant. I worked

on the Toyota account for 8 months before I decided to make the leap over to OMD to further advance my career.

Over the last 5 years at OMD, I have risen through the ranks, and I have been promoted three times, most recently to Strategy

Supervisor. Not only do I work on National accounts such as Mars Canada, Wrigley, and M&M Meat Shops to name a few, I

also oversee a sta­ of four. I have participated in many New Business pitches and have recently been nominated for a

Media Innovation Award. While I continue to grow my career at OMD, teaching has always been a passion. When

the opportunity came knocking to teach the Media Studies course, I jumped at the chance. Being able to

teach students the value of Media and share my experiences in my career has been invaluable. �ere

are many areas of opportunity in media for a recent graduate, and helping students understand the

bene�ts of this career is ultimately going to ensure they have an exciting and prosperous future. I

have truly come full circle and back to Durham College, the school that

prepared and guided me towards the successful

career I have today.

Since graduating, I have been fortunate to get straight into the broadcast industry, working in advertising sales.

Although I have worked mostly in television, I also have experience working in radio and newspaper. My career at

Channel 12 has allowed me the opportunity to work with hundreds of local businesses and to get involved

within the community, with business associations and charities that are close to my heart- all of

which have been tremendously ful�lling. Today I continue to do all of these things as well as

teach the Sales Promotion course for the Advertising program at Durham College.

�is has been an incredible experience, to be a graduate of Durham College and then

come back full circle as a teacher in the same program that launched my career.

Being back in the classroom, �lled with students full of curiosity, enthusiasm and

creativity is a privilege for me. �ey are our future Advertising Executives, Art

Directors, Sales Managers, Agency CEO’s, and teaching

in a way to pass success on to them… And

that makes it all worthwhile!
