👋 Community Introductions

HI all
I'm Val from the UK. I work for Lloyds Banking Group and I'm brand admin for our employee surveys. I've been working with Qualtrics for 3 years now - we have quite a complex set up here so its been in at the deep end and lots of support from the Qualtrics team. This means I know some really detailed and nuanced ways to use the platform, but I've missed some of the basics 🤪 (eg I've only just found this community!) but I'm getting up to speed quickly. I've even answered a couple of questions this morning!
Great to be part of the community

Hello Everyone! I am Chhavi Chauhan from India. I have been using Qualtrics for more than 3.5 years now and the platform keeps me excited through the new updates and features of the product.
Customer Experience analysis has been made easy with Qualtrics!!
Thank you !

Hello and good morning from a sunny Sweden!
I thought I had done this introduction ages ago, but since the restructure of the Rewards program last night, I saw that I don't have this badge yet. And we can't have that now can we? :)

I work for a Business Intelligence and Visualizations company called Qlik. I am based in a town called Lund in the southern part of Sweden, but Qlik as a company are all over the world.
In 2018 I was on the Operations team but was handed a project from Marketing which entailed doing our annual Relationship survey. I had never worked with surveys or XM before but at that time we had a partner that did all the setup and I handled the data analysis and reporting back to the business. 2019 we decided we could to it ourselves. So I've been part of Qualtrics for 4 years, although the badge says only 3 :)
That was a big success and it ended up with us managing both that survey, but also all other surveys and touch points our company manages. So today we're a team of five people with various roles. My main role is being the contact to the internal stake holders at Qlik to work out survey design, setup etc. and then building the structure in Qualtrics and also managing customer feedback as well as building the Change management projects to increase CX.

In my time off I take care of three kids, go fishing, hunting and taking care of the garden (not always by choice). Looking forward to meeting you all in person at the next X4 summit, something I was ROBBED of going to by the stupid Covid virus. Was sooooo looking forward to travel to Salt Lake City, and even more now after two years in lock down. Soooo, please get that going :)

Hi folks,

My name is Sean Jordan. I'm a full-time marketing researcher in St. Louis and also a member of the faculty at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in the Master of Marketing Research (MMR) program, teaching Qualitative Research. (I'm also an alumnus of this great program!)

I've been using Qualtrics since I was a student 10 years ago and am a passionate promoter of the platform, even joining the Ambassadors program a few years back. I use Qualtrics for just about everything I can, and I'm always looking for new ways to use it. I've attended four of the five summits (including this year's X4). I've also gone through four certification levels (the old Bronze-Silver-Gold and the new CX) and will continue to do certification classes until I've got them all covered!

I'm here because I enjoy talking Qualtrics. If I can be a resource to anyone, please let me know!

Hi everyone! I'm Betsy Strahin and I work for UW-Madison in the Division of Continuing Studies as a market research analyst. Qualtrics is just a portion of my job but I am the go-to around the office (and our friends on campus) for Qualtrics needs. I've had the pleasure of helping people stretch Qualtrics to do 360 without subscribing to the 360 application; pre- and post- self assessments; program and course evaluations; concept testing; applications; reservation tool; and I'm sure there are things I am missing. I'm excited to see what I can learn from the community. I already recognize some names from other forums that have helped me create JavaScript to push past what you can easily do in the interface.

Some personal background:
- I grew up in Erie, PA (yes, I am guilty of saying "PA" instead of "Pennsylvania") not too far from the great lake
- I went to a small college, Juniata College, whose landmark is State College. And for those of you who know State College they say they are in the middle of nowhere surrounded by fields and cows.
- After graduation I went to work at a full service market research firm in Maryland between DC, Annapolis, and Baltimore. I spent 5 years there developing and interpreting surveys and focus groups but not actually programming or running my own data.
- Almost four years ago now I transitioned to Madison, Wisconsin (a great town!) to work for the university. That'st when I started to pick up Qualtrics and have been self taught from videos, help pages, and forums.
