    GREAT! She should put her syllabus, comments, and slides together into a book, paper or digital.

    What a brilliant DNA presentation with Michelle Leonard. She explains it in a very understandable way, very clear & precise. Would definitely recommend anyone new to DNA or needs updating/refreshing to attend her various courses. I have learnt and am still learning a lot from her.
