Hi, I'm Brenda

I love figuring out the most strategic and effective way to use an application. And I love to teach these strategies to ensure my clients always let the application do the majority of the work, instead of spending endless hours doing unnecessary tasks.

As a result, I have had the privilege of developing the training for various applications for both Corporate and Small Business Owners.
