Meet The Team!

WeAreExcel Lead Microsoft and IT Trainer

I founded WeAreExcel in 2016 and I am very passionate about spreadsheets as well as effective learning. Although I enjoy delivering IT and Microsoft training, I also like keeping a focus on the commercial side of the business.

I have carefully hand picked all the trainers on our team after working with and alongside them.

When I am not working or at home with my four children, I enjoy regular travel and also speak Spanish as well as English.

Microsoft and IT Trainer

My goal is to make learning IT a fun, memorable experience, originating from the days when I was a Telephone Engineer, being “instructed” by egocentric authoritarians, and told not to step out of line while being taught. When I arrived in training by fluke rather than plan, I vowed that I would never behave like my predecessors and do my very best to make my sessions enjoyable!

I like to engage those in front of me, making them feel included in the learning process.  I conduct sessions like a conversation with friends.  Ask the attendees to make mistakes and learn from them.  My humour is never planned, but spontaneous, never too much, as learning new skills and knowledge is key.

My training career started in systems training for a communications company. Thoroughly skilled up, I trained thousands in my 7 years in this role.

Redundancy struck, and I left to take a solo flight as a training professional, focusing on Microsoft Office. Seen a lot of changes over the last 25 years in MS Office, and it is that that has helped keep my focus and enjoyment which I hopefully pass on to those who attend a session with me.
