              The director preys and scams the students. I believe jail time May change her the esthetician/ nail combo program is a 12,000 program. Tell me why my fasfa says 24,000? She expects that to be paid she went without my knowledge and took another loan out to pay her bills . She didn’t doesn't disburse certificates/ or licenses if payments aren’t made. It’s a big complete joke. High turnover of teachers . School capacity doesn’t match the amount of students that are there Shes literally in that office sitting on her *** ! Taking away from ppl . We need Justice FOYA needs shut down
