Hey everyone! My name is Natasha and I am based just outside of Boston in Medford, MA. I am an aspiring project manager with a specific interest in tech which is what brought me here, I am interested in improving my skills for my job hunt. I appreciate that there is a community of people that I will be connecting with for support. I found Agileforall on the Scrum Alliance website. I look forward to getting started, nice to e-meet you all! 🙂

I’m now a Certified ScrumMaster! – I took a 2 day course with Peter Saddington and CRUSHED it! ;P
Some background: For the past 7 years I’ve been in manufacturing and distribution literally doing grunt work and driving various machines(forklift/clamptruck/picker/jet-ski) to get things done in a warehouse. I don’t have any white-collar experience but I plan to integrate Scrum in my resumé emphasizing communication and problem solving. I find it very interesting that I was able to get the cert with 0 background (which most likely means I had a great teacher – thanks, Peter!). It’s not going to be easy getting into the scrum business but hey, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take! 😀I’ll also be using:

Hi! I’m Joe Sekely (SEEK lee) in Houston. I’m interested in combining Scrum with Data Science and multi cloud servers and Big Data. This can include engineering. I am impressed how this class is excellent preparation and I want to repeat with Skill Logic soon for SAFe training and certification. By the way, I’m transitioning to data science from working as a high school math teacher the past eleven years. I’m on the lookout for remote work. After an applied math seminar at Rice University last spring, I want to be a helper for institutions and teams as I have been for students so far.
I found you in a Google search and I specifically liked reading that Peter Saddington is the best.

Hi, my name is Marj. I’m from Philadelphia, Pa.
I’m a QA Software Tester, my contract recently ended so I decided to use my free time to secure some certifications. I have experience working in agile environments, I’m looking to learn more book terminology and other real life agile work experiences so that I can get my CSM and kill an interview.
I’m excited to grow with a community who have similar interests. I’m even more excited for new beginnings as a Scrum Master…. Hopefully by 2024! 😃
I found this course on ScrumAlliance.com

Hi all!
My name is Ryder Cauley. I’m in Denver, CO.I’m here because I’m looking for work opportunities. I’ve been a ScrumMaster previously though without the certification. And, as anyone looking for opportunities knows, most positions ask for certification.
I’m most excited to talk shop and process with other self-learners and see what has worked for them in their experience so we can learn from one another.
I found this community through the Denver Agile community.
