Did you make it to the Premiere Orlando show? If not did you follow my adventures on Instagram or Facebook? It was a lot of fun, I enjoyed the different perspective working in the classroom provided and loved the chance to meet up with industry friends as well as make new ones.

Being at that event always gives me a fangirl vibe and I just want to clap my hands in glee being in the presence of so many industry greats!
