“Bauer Academy didn’t just allow me to connect with industry professionals, it gave me the chance to network with other creatives, allowing me to gain knowledge from their experiences as well as sharing mine. The people I met at Bauer Academy will be some of the people that I’ll be in touch with for the rest of my life. What an experience, without this course I wouldn’t be where I am now…without a doubt.”
