Thank you cmorin for pointing out how the XR tech workshops & intros I collaboratively create & host for IM4 provide a very different world view and experience than what mainstream is providing – in a positive way.

MoniGarr is an incredible facilitator for endangered languages and cultures. She understands the inner workings of our Indigenous systems of knowledge(s) and is able to translate that to this very contemporary technology.

Monica successfully completed the Practical Workshop Facilitation Skills Certificate. This intensive 5 day training session required each participant to deliver a presentation each day, along with creating a lesson plan and having to deal effectively with a difficult person in their 4th presentation. In each presentation, Monica grasped the Behavioural style of facilitating and delivered professional, engaging and creative lessons. She is a gifted facilitator who makes any workshop she leads a meaningful event for the participants. She leaves no stone unturned to make learning fun and memorable.

Monica’s work ethics were by far the best among the rest of my classmates. She consistently worked hard to finish projects early in order to have room for improvement. She was very organized in group projects. During one group research paper, she was the first one to reach out to each member and start the collaborating dialogue. She also divided up the work evenly among the members and made the entire project work efficiently. Because of the bar that she had set with her work ethic and organization, we received a 100 on the research paper.
If Monica doesn’t have an answer, she will find it. That kind of work ethic, drive and passion is absolutely an asset and a must-have. I highly recommend her for any and all projects.

I have worked with Monica numerous times in the past and each time I am pleasantly surprised. She goes well beyond the basic requirements of the task making herself extraordinarily useful. She has an excellent skill set and abundant knowledge of the internet / websites / programming / technical writing and how to automate processes to make your business succeed with minimal effort.

Monica was hired to present a web design workshop for the SUNY Canton SBDC. The workshop was great and the attendees walked away with a good basic knowledge of web design and the various options for web development. Monica was great to work with and was very professional.
I highly recommend Monica Peters as a web application developer. I worked with her on an endangered languages chat bot application, and was thoroughly impressed by her ability as a bot programmer using AIML and her remarkable collaboration skills.
Not only is Monica a superb programmer, but her positive attitude, phenomenal communication skills, and creativity make her a joy to work with.
