Biography
Giovanni Fernandez came to Stetson University from Florida International University in Miami, where he was born and raised. He began as a visiting assistant professor and became a full-time assistant professor in fall 2014. He was drawn to Stetson University because of the university's tradition and faculty-to-student ratio. Going to and teaching at a larger institution taught Fernandez the importance of small class sizes, which allow for a better learning environment, providing the professor with the proper forum to easily transfer knowledge and have a grasp on the students' understanding. His love of finance began at a young age, as his father taught finance for 36 years and is also a financial advisor, both areas in which Fernandez has chosen to follow.
