Get to know our 2015/2016 student representatives from Humber College’s three public relations programs.
Tomiko Stanton
Humber College, Advanced Diploma in Public Relations
Hi Everyone! My name is Tomiko Stanton and I’m representing the Humber College Public Relations Advanced Diploma program. This is my first year in both the Public Relations program and working with CPRS. After obtaining a first-hand experience in working in the entertainment industry, I decided that Public Relations was the career that intrigued my interest the most.
What are you most excited for this year?
As a student representative this year, I am looking forward to networking with future PR professionals. I’ve also met a lot of great PR students at Humber College, and I’m very excited to get them involved in the upcoming events.
What do you do outside of school?
Outside of school, I’m a part-time employee at TOPSHOP/ TOPMAN. You’ll also find me on a stage in the city either singing, or modeling for a company clothing line. I love writing songs, reading books and cooking.
Tell us something unexpected about yourself:
Before I started school last month, I was working at G98.7 FM as the administrative/promotions assistant. I was an intern for 8 months before I was promoted to a full time position.

Bianca Jimeno
Humber College, Post-Graduate Certificate in Public Relations
Hi fellow CPRS members, my name is Bianca. I’m a new face to the industry as a Humber post-grad PR student. After working in the news industry for five years, I left to pursue a career in public relations. Why? Because at the most basic level, I live to tell stories. I love to learn about people. PR opens a whole world to me.
What are you most excited for this year?
I’m most excited to try new things, maybe even fail at a couple things. Sometimes that’s the best way to learn. That way I can find out my strengths and weaknesses and work on them. I like a challenge so I’m up for anything and down for everything.
What do you do outside of school?
Crunch through the fall leaves with my dog Toast. Try out a new recipe. Catch a movie. Take a nap. Borrow a book. Daydream. Drink coffee. Whistle. Make jokes. Look at things. Ask questions.
Tell us something unexpected about yourself:
I potty-trained myself when I was 2 years old (I was in California during a heatwave and it was simply too hot to wear a diaper). I think this speaks to my ability to put on my big girl panties and adapt to my environment.

Ferdinand Ngo
Humber College, Bachelor of Public Relations
My name is Ferdinand Ngo and I am the SSC section representative for the Bachelor of Public Relations program at Humber College. This is my second year being involved with CPRS as a section rep (I was a section rep in 2013/2014) and it’s such an amazing opportunity.
What are you most excited for this year?
I’m excited to connect with all the future PR professionals all across the GTA and also doing Passport to PR again in the winter. I love that event!
What do you do outside of school?
For the past year, I’ve been volunteering with Pride Toronto, handling their digital and social media. We trended (both in Toronto and Canada) several times this past festival, which was an excellent experience.
Aside from that, I love exploring the city and going out to get food in different neighbourhoods.
Tell us something unexpected about yourself:
I collect semi-precious stones.
