*****
Angela is one of the best trainers I have been involved with. She has a great knack for making the complex seem easy and is always there to help and remind me what I might be doing wrong, which eliminates the frustration level greatly. She is always patient and never lets me feel like she's frustrated with my 'denseness' on any given subject.

*****
Angela Valentine has a passion of learning and teaching others new technology that will make business and life easier. What impresses me is before sharing new things, she investigates the programs, learns as much as she can, introduces them, and then she has the God-given talent to teach simply and effectively. She encourages learning and using new technologies. She says, "don't be afraid to learn new technologies -- it's not as bad as you think". I appreciate Angela so much because so many have and will benefit from her passion of learning and teaching.

*****
Angela has a gift of teaching others in a way that inspires you to want to learn more. She knows her material and if not sure about the answer to a question, she is quick to find that answer for the client/student. In the years that I have known Angela, I have found her to be a professional, insightful person who challenges and encourages others to step out and learn the technical tools available to them.
