testimonials

It was really great to learn how to run a class, event manage and deal with problems. Also now I feel like I can write in 2-3 different ways for different audiences which might help me with applying for jobs.

Creating and filming the videos really kept my passion alive and makes me want to do it more. I also never thought I would enjoy blog writing until I started this program.
