She's the real deal, excellent adult educator and course development designer. I have been teaching adults software for over 30 years, and she hits all the points of connecting with students. I have been creating online courses for a few years on Thinkific's platform, and took this course to see if it would fill in any gaps, and it sure did, thanks Sarah! I highly recommend her course.
