Charlotte Habib
“Doing a three year degree at LIPA not only increased my knowledge in my chosen subject, it also taught me to step out of the box and look at the industry on a larger scale. It was an inspiration being taught by professionals who had been there and done it and many who were still performing and working in the industry I was striving to be a part of.”
