Since Nicole started working on BTMU courses the quality of the courses and customer service we experience has increased dramatically. Nicole "gets it". She understands exactly what we require of our courses, incorporates appropriate graphic design, frequently goes above and beyond to accommodate our needs and even helps troubleshoot last minute issues that occur post-production to increase our user's experience. Nicole's quality of work can only be matched by her professionalism whether on weekly calls (when it is required she attend) or in email, when we required changes to content. She is accommodating, smart and customer focused. I wish all our vendors had a 'Nicole' working for them! I hope Nicole continues to work with us. She is a wonderful addition to your team and a benefit to our program."---
