I absolutely love this instructor.
She is fun, she is interesting, she is extremely informative, but most of all she keeps it real and I respect that above anything else. I have to force myself to sit behind the computer screen for hours at a time. I would much rather, take this course In-Person.
And I wouldn’t mind taking another course that she teaches.
Thanks!
