Bio
Robin Stubblefield, MA, ACC
I recently had the opportunity to partner with Julie and the Adult & Continuing Education (ACE) department at Winona State to deliver a workshop for one of their clients. Julie is so easy to work with and ensures that you have time to connect with clients and understand their needs. She then works with you to make sure that all i's are dotted and t's are crossed so that the training/workshop goes smoothly and any follow-up is completed.
