Please recommend one ESPC22 Session (you can’t pick your own 😊)

I would recommend Powerful Collab: Making SharePoint Sites Look and Work Best in Microsoft Teams with Cathy Dew!

Can you briefly discuss a project you are most proud of?

I helped a nonprofit organization embark on Microsoft 365, and show them how they can improve their processes, and communications and allowed them to change more lives with the help of technology!

I love most of the movies / series in the Star Wars Universe

What is the best career or life advice you have received to date?

Don’t pick a job only for the money – do what you love and give it your 100% and the money will be there!

Have you any tips on receiving a MVP status?

Don’t do it for the MVP Status . Just do the activities you enjoy because you find value in sharing your knowledge and connecting with the community. The MVP award will come naturally.
