Hi everyone,

My name is Gergana, and I'm excited to be part of this mentorship program! I live in Milan, Italy, and I have over 8 years of experience with Marketo, both as a practitioner and admin. Currently, I work for The Adecco Group.

I'm aiming to take both the Business Practitioner Exam and the Architect Master Exam. It might be a bit ambitious, but I'm looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to learn and grow with all of you.

Looking forward to collaborating and learning from @laurenmccormack and all of my fellow aspirants!

Warm regards,

Gergana

Welcome to the program! So glad to have you! 🙂

Hi @Lauren,

I am glad to be in this CT 🙂 Could you provide some guidance on which areas are the most challenging and on which we should focus when preparing for the exam? Based on each of our experiences, each of us has different skills, but there are probably some areas that are more problematic for everyone.

[laurenmccormack]

Yes, I'll be posting lots of guidance and study materials to help you prepare. The areas that will be most challenging for each of you will really come down to the areas of the platform that you've used before. So if nurtures are not something you've used, for example, that'd be an area to focus, or if you've not looked at email program types, that'd be a place to do some extra studying. Hope this helps, and stay tuned for much more!
