Briana Arlene Robinson, professionally known as B.Arlene is an overall art enthusiast and her love manifests itself through a variety of mediums. Currently, those include poetry and spoken word. She seeks to inspire thought and evoke emotion with her pieces, but above all, seeks to share her story with the world in hopes that it will inspire others to tell their tale.

We Need to Talk: How to Quit With Some Dignity

We Need to Talk: How to Quit With Some Dignity

I recently transitioned from a job where I worked for 4 years to explore a new career path. I have had many jobs over the past 12 years, but it never gets easier to leave one for another.

Happy Birthday 2 Us!

Myself and two other young professionals met with some DeVry students and the rest is history! Year 1: A small team of us met and discussed how we could make learning abour career and basic etiquette interesting for young people. What did they need to know? What resources did they need to be successful? Do the students
