– Hello everyone. I am very happy to share why Santa Ana College was the perfect choice for the next steps in my continuous learning. For the last couple of years I’ve been reinventing my professional career and transitioning from salary employee to business owner and entrepreneur. As part of my journey, I am attending SAC to gain new skills and knowledge in audio, video, and production to enhance my technical skills and keep up with the changes in the digital media industry. Continuing education is essential to keep up with the job market changes whether through online courses, certification programs or degrees, SAC provides professionals with the ability to stay current and competitive in their field. During this process, I was able to approach professors at the media center that provided me with recommendations that best suited my specific endeavors. And that allowed me to concentrate on the classes that provided immediate value in my new career. I’m fully engaged with my business and meeting with potential clients limits my time during regular business hours. I am very happy that SAC provides evening classes so that I can focus on my studies without affecting my work. Education has been the foundation of this next chapter in my professional life. It has opened doors to new opportunities and has helped me to maximize my previous skillset in a new industry and profession. I am embracing the power of lifelong learning. I am following my passion in digital media and I am investing in my future. Santa Ana College is providing me with the skillset and network that will assist me in my future endeavors as a business owner and entrepreneur. Well, that’s all from me. Back to you, Alex
