13 months ago I was laid off by my previous employer of 3 years, while trying to survive a global pandemic. I was stuck inside my apartment searching for a new job during a hiring freeze and trying to navigate how to repair my stolen identity. It was easy to be down and out about my circumstances. But little did I know the amazing things that were to come. Recently, I was promoted to Senior Business Development Rep, was awarded "BDR of the Year" for the Americas, and proudly presented about Outreach to the global Nintex teams during our annual Sales Kick Off event. In addition, I recently purchased my first home and am preparing for my significant other to attend Law School at Gonzaga University this fall. I often tell people "The Best is Yet to Come", even when it's difficult to believe myself (if you recently got married or celebrated a birthday, it's probably in your card). As I look back at the last year, I know I have personified that phrase and now sit in awe of what I have accomplished. Thank you to Rachel Ginsberg & Phil Luong for giving me the opportunity to join this amazing Nintex team. Claire Hendrickson you have been a great mentor and ally. My mom always said to have an Attitude of Gratitude, so my deepest THANK YOU's to those around me who have offered endless advice, talked through tough situations, answered numerous questions, and supported the last year. THE BEST IS YET TO COME.
