What does being a Trailblazer mean to you?

It means being resourceful. It means being innovative. It means listening to your customers.

How do you Trailblaze at your job?

I try to make employee's lives easier. If that's through automation, if that's through training, if that's through selling Lightning, that's what I do.

How did being a Trailblazer change you?

I went to Salesforce training and it felt empowering to create a field. Oh my god, I changed a system! And that just started me down the path.

Tell me about your experience with Trailhead

I love Trailhead. I'm very addicted. I have 259 badges. I learned everything through Trailhead. I mean, it wasn't there when I first started, but once it came onboard, I jumped right in. I think I was one of the first to get to Ranger.

Scariest moment you've had professionally?

I was a new admin and was thrown into the deep end. I was like, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't have the answers and I can't say I don't know. Scary, but also a challenge. It pushed me to do more, to go further, and see how far I can take it.
