 Hi everyone! My name is Bri Johnson, I am a junior at OSU and now at LBCC as well. I moved back home to Portland for the summer but I am usually located in Corvallis.  I am a Business Administration major and I wanted to take this course to learn more about how to go about marketing to specific audiences and all of the work and details that go into it.  One thing I am very passionate about is traveling and exploring new places. I have visited 6 different countries, and I hope to study abroad next year to explore many more.
