Would you like to increase your
efficiency and productivity?

Do you have so much data that you’re not quite sure what to do with it?  How do you summarize and analyze that data?  What types of calculations are required?  Can I sort the data or filter out specific bits of data?

 

Are you writing a user’s guide or creating correspondence?  Trouble with margins aligning or fitting paragraphs to a page? How do I insert pictures and have the text wrap around the picture?

 

How many bullet points should I really put onto a slide? Can I link an Excel chart to a PowerPoint slide so that it updates? Is animation necessary? How can I remember all the points I want to discuss while a slide is displayed?

 

Can I create a distribution list for group emails?  What is the difference between an appointment and a meeting?

I am a Passionate Instructor

​

As a trainer for over 30 years, I have ‘grown up’ in the computer software industry and have learned as the arena grew.  I have worked with clients of all types and ages.  My strength is in customizing classes based on the needs of individual students and providing realistic business examples to compliment training.  I am a high energy trainer with a flair for training the adult student. 

  

Types of Training

​

Although I thoroughly enjoy classroom training, I also work extensively in the virtual training world.  In a virtual world, I can work one on one, or with a group of 50 or more students. 

 

I hold the Modern Classroom Certified Trainer certification from Logical Operations which prepares instructors for all aspects of delivering a course using the latest training technologies and approaches.

 

More About Me

​

When not teaching, I enjoy gardening, shopping estate sales and refinishing mid-century furniture.
