I am Larissa Fontenot (like fun•to•know). I have been working in Microsoft Excel since September 1997. I learned everything I know in Excel while working on projects for my jobs.

I also trained countless new hires at my company how to use this awesome software.

• Methods of teaching have been part of my professional education.
• So teaching is a second nature to me.
• I enjoy showing my coworkers how they can do the same amount of work in Excel they spend hours, and sometimes days doing, in just minutes.

So, after the idea of having my own training course online was born (yes, my students came up with it, I said - 'That's exactly what I will do!'

What can be more exicting than creating my own product?

I published my course on Udemy on January 30, 2014. I keep making screen cast videos though - because every time someone asks me an Excel question, I see it as an opportunity to get creative.

This course came to life because I want more people to work in Excel more efficiently, be less tired at the end of the day so that their families can enjoy them, and they too can enjoy spending time with their loved ones and not be tired of fighting with software which in fact, can be their friend and do their work for them.
