Akdashboard

Hello all!

My name is Patrick and I am CX and VoC analyst for BlueCross BlueShield, formerly of Dish Network. I have have been the primary Qualtrics user for both companies and enjoy finding ways to meet company needs using Qualtrics. I am always energized and excited when I figure out some way Qualtrics can meet very specific business needs that you may not expect it to be able to.

Welcome, @Akdashboard! Looking forward to seeing you share your cross-industry knowledge!

Hi, I'm Bruce - the Market Research Manager at Babcox Media. We have a string of media properties (print and digital) that cover the automotive aftermarket.
I've been using Qualtrics about six months after (cough, cough) using some competitor products. I'm happy I switched.

Hi everyone -
My name is Annat Shrabstein, and I live near Boston, MA. I'm the Director of Consumer Research at Sallie Mae (nope, we're not the government and nope, we are not servicing your federal student loans - that's Navient). Our small team supports all of the research needs, ranging from customer experience to new product development. I'm excited to join this community, learn from what has worked best for you guys and share my expertise and perspective. I grew up in market research on the agency side, and I've been with Sallie Mae for the past 3 years.

Welcome, @ashrabstein! We are looking forward to your contributions and expertise!

MatthewM

Hi all,
My name is Matthew Mikkelsen, and I work at the American Dental Association in Chicago, where I am the Qualtrics Brand Administrator for a group of 30 users. I've worked with different online survey tools for 14 years to support the institutional research needs of the Commission on Dental Accreditation, and after flirting with using Qualtrics several times, my organization came onboard one year ago. I have degrees from Michigan State University and Loyola University Chicago, and am looking forward to attending the Summit again next week!

I am Katie and I work for an integrated logistics company, ArcBest, based out of Arkansas. I have been with the company almost four years and have worked on our Employee Engagement surveys for the past three years. We have recently started using Qualtrics in the past 6 months and are excited to see what we can do with the platform.

Emily

Welcome, @KatieH! You'll most likely want to poke around the Employee Engagement category here - happy to have you!

KristyP

Hello everyone! My name is Kristy and I work for Canada Post in Toronto, ON. We have only been with Qualtrics since June 2017 and it's been an absolutely great experience so far. I'm fairly new to the research survey world, and am trying to soak in any knowledge I can. It has taken me a bit to work my way over to the Qualtrics community, but I'm glad I'm here now. Looks like this space will be a great sounding board as I continue to learn about survey methodology and how best to set our website up to gather meaningful insights beyond "where's my package"!

Welcome, @KristyP! We're glad to have you - and don't worry, you're timing getting into the community is perfect. We actually just publicly launched last week .

OURKing

Hello, i am Heather and i work in the Office of Undergraduate Research at NC State University in Raleigh, NC. I have been using Qualtrics for about 4 years, but self taught and so only in a very basic capacity.
I just completed the Core training and I am excited to join everyone at X4 to see what Qualtrics can really do. I have so many ideas of how i want to use it and now just need to learn how.
