It’s been such an incredible experience to see what happens behind the scenes at one of the coolest networks around. I’ve had  real, substantial experiences that with undoubtedly be a huge help when I start my MA in Strategic Communication on August 31st.

Having these on-the-job experiences in advance of starting my formal schooling on the subject will be invaluable. (More …)
