This blog is dedicated to product design issues.

I am passionate about education and developing community across international borders. I believe education is more than a degree. Through the ReesaBru website, I wish to provide free information for students and families considering colleges and universities in the American-style higher education system. My professional experience in the field of international education includes working as an International Admission Counselor for Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, a Programs Coordinator at the International House in New York, and the International House Office Manager at San José State University. Currently, I am a graduate student at the American University of Paris earning a Masters in Global Communication. Online publications of my work can be found here.
