SF Welly goes Virtual - Wed 13 May - Trailblazer Alisa Edwards - WiT Leader

Trailblazers who Inspire Us - Alisa Edwards, Auckland Women in Tech
Alisa Edwards is the second of our Inspiring Trailblazer speakers in an occasional series. I have been trying to get her to Wellington to speak to our Salesforce Wellington community for a long time - but as Alisa chooses to abide by a minimal carbon footprint she has always gently declined me! Virtual times bring greater opportunities for speakers, so I am delighted to be able to introduce the amazing Alisa to everyone.

Alisa will be beaming into our homes from Auckland and will share her Salesforce journey, career advice, and tips on how to quickly attain certs/badges. Her presentation will be followed by Q&A.

Alisa is a Chilean-American (and almost Kiwi) who is passionate about the environment, diversity & inclusion, and tech for good. She is active in Auckland’s Salesforce community where she runs the growing and very active Women in Tech group (with monthly meetings), works as a Salesforce consultant at GravityLab, teaches the Admin course at Tech Futures Lab, and has collected 600+ Trailhead badges as well as nine Salesforce certifications.

Alisa loves hearing from inspiring people, learning new languages, exploring vegan restaurants, hiking NZ Great Walks, attending hackathons, minimising waste, and finding ways to do things thoughtfully and a bit unconventionally. She encourages all women and allies to join her WiT Auckland group, watch out for her amazing monthly meetings (currently virtual)! https://trailblazercommunitygroups.com/auckland-nz-women-in-tech-group/
