Hi all! :wave: Hope everyone’s having a great week so far!

This Week’s Featured Tweet:

ICYMI: I recommend checking out this blog post from Marc Bartolome of SEO Services Australia for some great tips on how you can improve your organization’s SEO this year.

Now, let’s get right to it! For those of you who are new here: Work Out Loud is a weekly opportunity to share what we’re working on, who we’re meeting with, and what we’re doing in our free time. There are no rules here—share whatever you’d like!

Welcome New Members!
Welcome to our newest community members: @afranco, @rgpochop, @ondaway, @jonycp, @darago, @jcooper, @SeganStore, and @sandikosasi88. We’re so excited to have you here! You’re cordially invited to participate in our Work Out Loud thread, this week and every week. :grinning: Let us know where in the world you are! :world_map:

This Week, I Am…
:trophy: Still working on Pantheon’s 2022 Best in WebOps Awards! I’m currently working to finalize trophy vendor options and prepare for calls with our category judges later this week. Please note: Submissions for the Best in WebOps Awards have closed. If you applied to the awards, you’ll be notified by February 2023 on the status of your submission.

What I am Most Excited About…
:partying_face: As I mentioned earlier, we’re having calls with our Best in WebOps Awards judges later this week, so after this week, we should know who the winners are for both the Individual and Team Awards categories! So, I’m definitely looking forward to seeing who we’ll get to recognize for their WebOps impact!

Hello Pantheon Community! My name is Eunnice Lee and I am a Senior Strategic Partner Manager at Pantheon. Thank you so much for the nomination @valebus!

This week I am working on:

  • 2023 bespoke strategic planning with my partners - you know who you are! :slight_smile:
  • Preparing for a trip to Tel Aviv and London! If anyone is living in either of those places, I’d love to sync to see if we can meet for a coffee or adult beverage!

Recent Big Wins:

  • Promotion to Senior Strategic PM!
  • Awarded for highest achievement in 2023
  • A recent fun win was having a customer speak to us last week and him mentioning the move to Pantheon allowing him to get his weekends back!
  • Most importantly - seeing my fellow Pantheors in HQ last week :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Learning and/or reading right now?

  • This is outside of Pantheon, but currently taking a weekly course on Judaism
  • Always learning from my team, fellow Pantheors, and from our agency partners

What I am Most Excited About…
:dog: :dog: Not work related at all, but worth celebrating! I get to bring home two sweet foster puppies this afternoon + I am SO excited! If you ever want to learn more about fostering bottle baby pups/kittens, it’s pretty much my super power. So ask away!

Learning and/or reading right now?

Greetings, gods and goddesses!
I’ve been lurking, but I’ll try to be more active soon. Alongside our collective Covid trauma(!), my teams have been ultra-slammed for the last three years with multiple simultaneous Drupal 7 → 8/9 migration projects for our treasured long-term clients, and I haven’t been able to visit with y’all beyond reading. Next Monday’s #WOL will have more details, promise!
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!
