AI training client testimonial

Emma makes AI feel genuinely useful. The training sessions were practical, collaborative, and were tailored to address what I’m dealing with day to day — not hypotheticals. She really gets how busy people actually work, and that comes through in how she teaches.

I’m Emma

With 25 years in journalism, marketing and communications, I've been writing stories since Ceefax was peak tech. I'm based in Aberdeen, Scotland, and am a CIM fellow and a CPD-accredited AI trainer. I love an 80s cultural reference and my best ideas come during dog walks, wrangling jigsaws, and baking (sourdough game fast imPROVING).

"Emma's approach [to AI training] is non-techy. She shows how to get the most of AI tools without fuss and confusion. Highly recommended."
