Trainer and Facilitator
I am the owner, trainer, and facilitator of interactive business Training. My company provides corporate training for businesses or individuals and we are also a Microsoft partnership. My professional passion is staff development. Training is my ‘chocolate’. I have a gift for being able to learn a topic (most of the time technical) and break it down in a way that adults can not only understand but are able to apply to their jobs to become more efficient and productive.
