Hi Everyone,

I’d like to introduce myself to the group. I'm in the middle of a career shift and have been studying Salesforce on Trailhead since May, while also applying for jobs after my last organization closed.

Most of my background is in nonprofit and association communications, with a focus on email marketing and member engagement. I’m building up my Salesforce skills step by step, and I’m looking for ways to bridge that experience into database, marketing operations, or Salesforce-adjacent roles.

I’m based in DC. I’d love to connect with others who have made a similar shift or are shifting and hear how you navigated the process.
