How long have you been on the Hitchhikers team?

Since May 1, 2020

What projects have you worked on since joining the Hitchhikers team?

Been working almost exclusively with our Central Mid-Market AFT clients - and have begun building for many. Soon to go live (at the time of this writing) are Kolache Factory, Woodhouse Day Spas, Dallas Renal Group & Ai United.

Kolache Factory direct answer!

What is your proudest accomplishment since joining the Hitchhikers team?

Completing the very technically intense (but also super interesting) training!

How has becoming an administrator/Hitchhiker affected your career?

I had very little technical background before starting Hitchhikers, but it was always something I desired to have. The entire training, and role itself, is very fast-paced but I am grateful for the resources we have available to us that we can leverage to teach ourselves new skills (like CSS) while also sharpening some softer skills like organization and communication. The Hitchhikers team is extremely collaborative and a lot of things rely around teamwork — debugging, training, teaching each other, etc. It's been great to get to know so many brilliant teammates and become a better teammate myself. It's amazing to be able to speak to so many excited clients that can't wait to utilize Yext software!

What is one thing people might not know about being an administrator?

So many clients are genuinely excited about getting Answers on their websites and are very passionate about their projects. It's super rewarding to be able to collaborate with so many different industries and client teams, & amazing to be able to speak to so many excited clients that can't wait to utilize Yext software!

What is the toughest challenge you have had to overcome on a project?

Getting the data from almost every client .... the ones that are able to send over their data quickly deserve medals.
