Let’s get to know Francesca a little more –
Q: What’s the best part of your job/Hireforce?
A: Easy - The people! We have a tight-knit group of people here and we work really well together. Our culture is one of a kind and we know how to work hard but have fun at the same time!
Q: What’s the best way you start the day?
A: Some good tunes and a cup of tea.
Q: What do you wish you knew more about?
A: 2 things –
1st one: I would love to learn more about CPQ. More and more clients are starting to require CPQ experience and it would be awesome to know more about it on a technical level.
2nd:- How to keep my plants alive.
Q: Where is the most interesting place you’ve been?
A: We went on a company trip to New Orleans during Mardi Gras earlier this year (yet another reason I love Hireforce) and it was quite the adventure! We stayed in the heart of the French Quarter, ate endless amounts of beignets and enjoyed some of the most incredible southern foods. There was entertainment on every corner and literally never a dull moment.
Q: What have you been doing to keep yourself busy during this shelter-in-place?
A: Getting creative with my meals and cooking things I normally wouldn’t cook! Next up: Baking. Anyone have any tips? I tend to burn everything I attempt to bake.
Q: What’s your favorite thing about Salesforce?
A: The community. They are all so supportive to one another and eager to learn new information. It is honestly so fun to work with such enthusiastic, collaborative and intelligent people.
Q: What’s your favorite Appexchange?
A: Studentforce on Education Cloud. My pal, Ed Schlesinger, introduced me to these! Studentforce helps drive success by giving students access to all their education accomplishments. It reinforces time management skills and gives students the tools they need to track and monitor their assignments, grades, classes and much more. Education is something that I will always be passionate about - I initially went to college to become a School Counselor. Studentforce would have been a great one stop shop for my students if I were still in the field! Ed recently started an awesome new project for Elements. Cloud for Education and I am so excited to learn more from him.
Q: What is your favorite Salesforce blog or MVP?
A: Joanna Iturbe. Joanna is an 3x MVP and a Denver community group leader who I look up to. She is passionate about education and has so much drive to learn and teach others.
Q: Favorite trailhead character?
A: Blaze! When I first learned about all the characters, Blaze was someone I could relate to the most. She is known to be faithful, trustworthy and a great team player. She is also quite the social butterfly and is always busy cheering on all her talented friends :)
