"Jana is amazing at developing work product in TalentLMS. It was exactly what we were looking for and she was able to get it completed within our very accelerated timetable. She was very responsive during the timeframe of the initial parts of the contract. We rolled out the TalentLMS system she helped us create to great fanfare. Once staff began using it, there were some small but important changes we needed to make the system optimal. This was where we lost contact with Jana, which was disappointing because she would be the perfect person to help us sure up what we need. I'm not sure if something happened, or what was the reason for our loss of contact but I will say it was a pleasure to work with Jana and I hope all is well."
