Hey everyone!

My name is Nate Bagley. I'm the new Community Manager here at Workfront.

My job is to support you, answer your questions, facilitate conversations, help you get to know the Workfront software better, and make this community a cool place for you to visit regularly. I'm really excited to get to know you all personally.

I'd love it if you'd upload a profile picture of yourself here is a walkthrough of how to do that if you get stuck ) and then introduce yourself briefly in the comments below by answering one or all of these questions:

How do you use Workfront?

What would make this community amazing for you?

How much time do you spend using Workfront on a daily basis?

What are you passionate about (other than work)?

What's your favorite joke?

Here's a little about me: I'm very passionate about podcasting, I love Lindy Hop dancing, my guilty pleasure is the Muppets, and I'm super excited to be here at Workfront. I know the team here cares about you a lot. They're really excited to meet a bunch of you at LEAP in a few weeks. Ok, your turn! Upload that profile picture , and introduce yourself!

I'm late to the party! I am Heather Theriault and I am one of the system admins for MetLife working in the Direct sales business area. We have 5 different and distinct business units in Workfront, so we all have our own admins. Because of the number of admins, we have a bi-weekly governance meeting where we discuss open issues that affect everyone as well as any requests for changes to global settings. We've been approaching it as a "majority rules" decision making process, but most of the time we can all get on the same page. I am the primary point of contact with questions or problems in Workfront (the Help Desk loves me). I primarily handle any requests/consultation with current users to create or change a request queue or process flow. I also lead mini-training sessions (timing varies with staff changes) and monthly Q&A sessions. I check in with some of our core users frequently to make sure everything is good in their world. In my spare time (right!), I am also a data architect/business analyst (depending on how the wind blows) working on our Data Strategy & Mgmt team. We manage the reporting and resolution of any data issues.

Hi Everyone! New Era Cap is really excited to be on Workfront as part of our transformation to a digital workplace! I'm the director of our PMO and Service Operations in Technology. We've embarked on an exciting road on transforming how we are organized and adapting our ways of working to better support an ever challenging business community. Like pretty much everyone else in business today we're faced with our business users, customers and consumer having very high demands and expecting an adaptive and transparent project delivery organization. Excited to leverage Workfront as part of this journey, and to tap into the Workfront community's knowledge and experience.

Hi! I'm Keri Andrews, and I'm the Creative Services Coordinator at Cracker Barre. I'm also the Workfront Admin. Right now we use Workfront solely for internal Marketing requests, but we are getting ready to accept requests from the rest of our corporate office. I've been a member of the community for a while but haven't spent much time here. Last week I was searching through some of the forums and found answers to questions that I had. I also added a few of my own observations to a few posts. I am passionate about dogs. I love dogs.

Hi Nate - I just started using Workfront 3 weeks ago to support my team who has been using it for a year. I'm catching up as fast as I can as a new System Administrator, so I'm in the tool about 4 hours a day 7 days a week. I've been supporting multiple financial and learning management systems for my department for the last 12 years, this is the first PMO tool. I'm kind of a magnet for new technology and systems. I've never seen them as computers but more like a musical language or that Simon game - press the buttons in the right order and it sounds good - press them in the wrong order and it doesn't. I'm pretty passionate about work - which can be good and bad. I'm close to my family who lives in Seattle, even though I live in California. I have six nieces and nephews all under the age of 8. I am an analog and digital gamer - board, card, video - you name it - I'm there and for hours. I think my longest stretch is 14 hrs straight. I love to read, write, crochet, and make my own puzzles. I accomplished my first half marathon yesterday and I did a 10k the day before it - so I'm a glutton for punishment. When I set a goal, I make it! My Dad did it with me, even though he thought I was crazy. From my 7 year old nephew this weekend - "How do you get a Rocket baby to go to sleep?" "You rock it" I'm very excited to be here and hope to get to attend LEAP.

Hello All! My name is Christina and I work for DISH based out of Englewood, Colorado. I recently got promoted from one of our field training offices to the corporate location where I have been hired to learn the ins and outs of Workfront and become the Workfront SME (subject matter expert) for our group. What little I have learned so far has me excited me to dive in and make the most of this program for our company. I have heard from other users within our company that the Workfront community is a great place to learn and share. A little bit on me: I'm a single mom of two girls (ages 20 and 17), I'm working on finishing my degree in business management and I love listening to live music, especially at Red Rocks. In my past life I have done costume design and directing for youth theatre, page layout design for yearbooks, auction chair and even a barista for a short time. I just love learning new things and will try whatever is thrown my way. My favorite joke (warning, it's bad): Sven and Oly were walking along a railroad track when they came across a decapitated body. Sven picks up the head and asks Oly, "Hey, is this Omar?" Oly answers, "No, he was taller." Sorry, Swedish joke passed down in the family. Christina
