“Anissa is an outstanding tech trainer, speaker, web designer and communicator. I worked with Anissa in the development of several recorded program presentations and her leadership and professionalism is memorable. If I needed assistance she provided, if I had a question she answered. She is a wonderful addition to any framework that requires someone knowledgable in technology. It was a pleasure to work with her and I wish her well.”
