Student Experience: Fiorella Teodista

“This program interested me because I wanted to experience hands-on learning, and North Lake provides it. I had fun and learned a lot at the same time. The school had classes and clubs that allowed me to learn a lot about film and video, and also meet students with the same interests. 

“I would recommend this program to other students who want to get into the world of film and video. The Video Technology program has a lot of equipment and staff available to students so they can learn and make good use of it.”
