Through her extensive experience in teaching and management, she developed a deep respect for how a structured training system empowers instructors to reach their full potential. This realization led her to become a Merrithew training mentor, where she now dedicates herself to sharing high-quality training methods and concepts with those seeking guidance. people in need.
