Marketo, Salesforce and spreadsheets are bread and butter to me. I’m also an online Japanese teacher and have taught and mentored more than 100 students to achieve their goal.

When my company only had the basic edition of tools but what we’re trying to achieve was beyond its capability, I thought I was challenged my limitation. I found a tiny code snipet and was able to impact the business process and the lead quality, I was proud of myself.
