“I feel truly blessed to have found an incredible PD Specialist. Despite initial skepticism and worries about being unprepared for my CDA credentials, I mustered up the courage to seek Ms. Michelle's advice after witnessing her impressive observation of my colleague. She posed thoughtful questions, and upon determining my readiness, she encouraged me to take the exam and schedule a PD Specialist observation appointment. Throughout the process, Ms. Michelle offered invaluable guidance, patiently addressing my numerous questions and calming my nerves.

On the day of my observation, Ms. Michelle exuded professionalism and, despite some nervousness, everything went smoothly. I was particularly impressed that she thoroughly reviewed my portfolio, even offering heartfelt compliments on my work. Her professional yet compassionate demeanor inspired confidence. I'm grateful that God brought her into my life. I highly recommend Ms. Michelle to anyone seeking a PD Specialist, and I'm confident that her expertise will inspire, help and empower others.”
