Alright y'all I'm done being mysterious lol! I'm so excited to announce the the beginning of a new era. My "soft-girl" era... Microsoft! 😎💅🏾🙌🏾✨🔥💕 I’ve joined the Elite Influencers, Community & Events team, focusing on both the Azure Data and Microsoft Fabric communities! ✨ In this new role, I’ll be: ✨ Leading and supporting User Group leaders around the world. ✨ Engaging with MVPs and Super Users, connecting them with Microsoft product teams. ✨ Collaborating with developer influencers and data practitioners to spotlight their work and elevate community voices. Can I just say that these past 9 years in Developer Relations has been wildly rewarding? Seriously – years ago, I built out a global developer program ("The @cloudinary MDE/Ambassadors" program), modeled after the Microsoft MVP program. And now this role brings it full circle. 🙏🏾💕 To my new Azure Data Fabric communities: I’m so excited to meet you, learn from you, and work alongside you as we grow these ecosystems together. Whether you’re an MVP, a user group leader, or a developer just starting to explore these platforms—please feel free to DM me here on X, connect with me on LinkedIn, or wherever. Let’s chat! 💕 (I'll also be at a few conferences and meetups, so please by all means come and say hi if you see me! 🙂 Warning: I love taking selfies! 🤗✨) And to my Swift, iOS, and open source folks: This isn’t goodbye. I’m still here. Still active. Still championing. Just with an even bigger toolbox now. 😉👌🏾 So blessed to and grateful to God first to be entering into this new chapter, and forever grateful that He continues to use me as a light and vessel to uplift and empower people in His name. 🙏🏾☝🏾✨💕 Cheers, to the #SoftGirlEra! 🥂✨💕 #Microsoft Let's goooooo! 🚀 #DevRel #MicrosoftMVP #MicrosoftFabric #AI #AzureData #MVPBuzz #EliteInfluencers #Swift #DeveloperCommunities #DataAndAI #Blessed
