"Kari was a fantastic presenter. I appreciated her upbeat, funny personality and excellent presentation style. She definitely knows her stuff! Her videos were on point and I had no idea about the QBO test drive. That was great. I was concerned that a "Basics" Class would be too basic, since I've been using QBO for about 2 years already. But, I learned a LOT! "
