About Me

Hi and thanks for stopping by!!

Using my past work experience (of over a decade!) in a fast-paced marketing department that used Excel heavily, I now make step-by-step Excel tutorials to help you work faster and smarter.

How did this happen???

In my years in marketing, I fell in love with Excel! It sounds weird, but it’s true.

An Excel sheet is like a blank canvas. The more comfortable you get with it, the more you can create with it.

I loved its flexibility – I used it for everything from analytics to presentations and even creating games to help with employee engagement.

I especially loved its time-saving abilities. When I was told I could save time by using keyboard shortcuts I became obsessed with mastering shortcuts for my most frequent tasks.

Later, when the MBA program I was in offered a self-paced (but supervised by a professor) macro course my life changed!

After the course, I quickly began creating macros to automate a number of tasks. This resulted in roughly half my week opening up!!! I used this time to volunteer for new projects, which led to me moving up within the company.

Who knew so much could come just from learning how to use a spreadsheet better?

Fast forward several years and I was diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome. Ideally, I now wanted to work a more flexible schedule to better focus on my health.

And so, I turned to my love of Excel spreadsheets and began creating tutorials.

Each tutorial is focused on a single topic to help you solve a problem and build your Excel skills without feeling overwhelmed.

You’re super busy, I get it. So I try to keep each Excel tutorial short and on topic.

My hope is that if you need to save time and get your work done faster and more efficiently, these Excel tutorials can help you!
