Kindly tell us how your professional background and experience help you to mould strategic business modules for Copperleaf.

smoother and error-free. My experience in the corporate world of the IT sector not only taught me to exploit internet & social media for advertisement, but also to implement structured methods to simplify tasks, innovative ways to make the customer experience at Copperleaf even better and mainly to develop robust training sessions for all the staff members.
