Life is Busting out ALL Over!

Transparency, when it comes to business practices, is very important to me.  After working in corporate america’s shadiest friend, marketing and advertising, for 6 years, the lack of transparency was one of the reasons I wanted to make a switch to higher education.  Now, higher education isn’t perfect but so far, in my limited experience, [...]
