## When did you join the dbt community and in what way has it impacted your career?

My dbt learning journey kicked off with the CoRise (now Uplimit) course <a href="https://uplimit.com/course/analytics-engineering-with-dbt/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Analytics Engineering with dbt</a>, with Emily Hawkins and Jake Hannan, in February 2022 – less than a month after starting as a data engineer with the City of Boston Analytics Team. About a year later, I spearheaded the adoption of dbt at the City and got to build the project and associated architecture from scratch – which is probably the best learning experience you could ask for! I saw the value dbt could bring to improving data management processes at the City, and I knew there were other cities and local governments that could benefit from dbt as well, which motivated me to find my fellow co-speakers Ian Rose and Laurie Merrell to give a talk at Coalesce 2023 called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aX7tAfMmIM&“ rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">“From Coast to Coast: Implementing dbt in the public sector”.</a> As a part of our goal to identify and cultivate a community of dbt practitioners in the public (and adjacent) sectors, we also started the dbt Community Slack channel <a href="https://getdbt.slack.com/archives/C05MNU6QB5L/“ rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#industry-public-sector</a>. That experience allowed me to continue to grow my career and find my current role - as well as connect with so many amazing data folks!
