    I may be newer to Upwork, but I'm a longtime expert in Smartsheet, not only as a user but also as a trainer. I build business solutions that help YOU get the job done BETTER and FASTER! These solutions include areas like project management, data collection and management, custom data dashboards, reports, project collaboration, automated workflows/reminders, custom user views, and more. I’ve found what I’m good at, and I want to share it with others who can benefit from my skills and knowledge of work improvement tools. I enjoy and excel at working with teams or individuals who want to develop improved work processes and automated solutions that streamline work efforts, improve team collaboration, reduce repetitive administrative tasks, eliminate human error, and deliver concrete metrics. I work primarily with Smartsheet and Microsoft online tools. I’ve developed countless programs that I personally managed, and I've designed dozens of cross-department solutions to improve functional excellence within my own work at companies. I can help you identify inefficient work tasks and activities, and then help you design automated solutions that will shave hours from your week, and weeks from your year. I’ve been recruited by Smartsheet as a Beta Tester, and internal promoter. I’ve been a featured guest speaker on Smartsheet customer learning webinars featuring innovative solutions and best practices, and I host internal training sessions as a recruited Smartsheet “Mobilizer”. If you want to work smarter, not harder, and utilize easy end-consumer tools without the need for programming knowledge, I am an expert consultant who can work with you to design something specific to your needs and then set you up to manage it moving forward. Feel free to message me with any questions related to the software, my experience, and what you're looking for. I can tell you upfront how it can be done. I work well with clients and move quickly (if you can keep up 😉). 📌Visit my Portfolio Section to access a link to schedule a free 30-minute consult.
