My experience at Herzing College helped my studies a lot because certain modules of this program were computer related and my learning experience from Herzing taught me not only the basic components of how a computer works but

how programs are build and how they function.

My experience in University prepared myself for this program. From my experience I have an advantage of how to time manage. Also Disciplined to hand assignments on the due dates.

My responsibilities working in the United States gave me ideas that I would like to design my own hotel/bed & Breakfast or Apartment/Condo Buildings that I could invest some where in the Caribbean. Residential and Commercial Drafting is a stepping stone to this project that I would like to pursue.
