I am a Sr. Solution Engineer at Slack with 5 additional years of sales experience, working to help non-profits and the public sector work efficiently while fostering a more productive and inclusive environment. Through work with industry leading govtech companies, including Tyler Technologies, Accela, Roadbotics, and currently, Slack, I enjoy helping leaders learn about, and adapt to new technology. In my spare time I love to read, hike, travel and stay involved in my local community.

DEMO
When onboarding new members and volunteers, it can be tedious to send each a welcome message with instructions, and difficult for the new member to know where to find crucial information. Slack's Welcome Bot is an easy to build workflow, using Slack's Workflow Builder, that automatically sends a message to a new member to help them feel welcome and have the information they need to get started. This demo an example of a Welcome Bot and how to build your own in minutes.
