Social Listening: Duolingo

About me

 Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Brady Scroggins and I am currently enrolled at LBCC with the goal of earning a degree in Business Administration. I decided to take this class so that I could learn more about how marketing works and hopefully be able to apply that knowledge in the future.

Outside of school I enjoy playing and watching sports more specifically football, basketball, and baseball.
