Testimonials
"I don't have any constructive criticism to share. You gave a wonderful greeting and introduction that were clear and inviting. You managed the chat comments very well, and you addressed each of the attendees by name when they had a question. I felt more confident in my own presentation because you were so prepared, calm, and confident."
“I thought Jamie was incredibly thorough in her (virtual information session) presentation! I learned a lot and had most, if not all, of my questions answered.”
