“We started partnering with Rachelle last year. The first thing she did was dig deep to really understand our product and its educational benefits. From there, she pulled together a multi-channel proposal that would allow our product visibility with her audience and would allow her to share the value proposition authentically across digital and in-person events. We’ve had so many people getting in touch, letting us know how wonderful her sessions were and how inspired they were to try the product – precisely because of her showcase. We’re delighted with the brand awareness Rachelle has generated for us, the leads, and enquiries, and very excited to continue our partnership with her! Would absolutely recommend her to any STEM or CS solution in the EdTech space!” Natalya Ratner
