The Instructor :

Linda C. Kiss

I have a Masters Degree from Pepperdine University, CA, in Human Resources Management  and a Bachelor of Arts  teaching degree from Trenton State College, NJ, in Business Education.

I have been in the balloon industry from its infancy 44 years ago. I owned Balloonagram for 10 years in Toms River NJ and recently sold a very lucrative business,  Affairs  in the Air Balloon Decorating Service ,  we had for 22 years in Tampa Florida  so I could "semi " retire.

I have taught at ALL the industry's balloon conventions and won portfolio and centerpiece competitions as well as balloon sculpture competitions at the National levels. 

My passion is teaching and helping people. For  nine years I have received  the county’s award for volunteer of the year for the work I do at a local children’s homeless shelter, in Tampa.   As you can see, I love to help people!

My objective is to teach you a vocation that you will absolutely love doing. I want  you to be able to do everything I can do from  my 44 years of experience.   I want  to send you away with abounding enthusiasm walking out of here knowing the sky is  the limit and you can’t wait to get home to start doing balloons. (my grads now coin it being a Mini me).   When your class is over I am still your mentor to call anytime.  (And they do!)    Please see  Business REFERENCES page and many grads are available to you if you have any questions.  Just ask for their emails.

Success is loving what you do......... do what you love.
