Pass the mic 🎤 Community Champions
Community Champions are members who demonstrate product expertise and generosity in sharing best practices and support with others on the platform.
"I joined the Smartsheet Community as a way to become more proficient at Smartsheet. I remain in the Community because I love the willingness of all members to share their questions and their expertise.
Even if I’m the person answering a question for another user, it’s likely the question has also expanded my own knowledge. That is such a win-win!"
- @Kelly Moore, Continuous Improvement Lead at Syngenta, United States

More about me
Hiya! I’m Genevieve, the Community Manager from the Support side of the house. I love all things Smartsheet…especially formulas!
You may have seen me sometimes hop in to answer questions but I also help from behind the scenes, ensuring your posts are in the right category or posted as the right type (Idea vs. Question vs. Discussion).
A few things about me:
- I jumped at writing this newsletter because July is my favourite month…it was my 30th birthday this Monday!
- I don't like birthday cake 🍰 (I know, I'm a strange one) but I love brownies so we made a Birthday Brownie instead.
- I'm 🇨🇦 Canadian but I live in the south of 🏴 England, a stone's throw from the beach.
- I started in the Community my first month at Smartsheet, over 4 years ago now, and have loved it ever since. You all are my heroes.
👉 Gen's Top Support Tip
Unsure if what you're experiencing is specific to you or if it's happening for everyone using Smartsheet? Smartsheet has a Status page you can subscribe to for updates and receive email alerts for any disrupting events.
See you around, Community!
Cheers,
Genevieve

I learn something from @Genevieve P. every day! And @Pete S I'm going to have "Mom's spaghetti, he's nervous" in my head for the rest of the day and I'm not mad at it. 🎶
-
@Genevieve P. Love this - you have be so incredibly helpful in the community and such a pleasure to learn from always. Also shout out to @Paul Newcome for sitting at the top of leaderboard. Your help has also been such a blessing! Nothing but LOVE for the Smartsheet Community

@Genevieve P. I've been quietly hitting up your Bridge responses over the past few weeks and they have been super helpful. So helpful in fact that I've not yet needed to contact you directly or post my own question. Thanks a bunch!!

Thank you for all the advice!
I'm jealous you're close to the beach. It might be 30 years before I can throw a rock to the beach, if I can still throw a rock by then.

Pleeeeaaase allow Duration column to be used for formulas! So restrictive for Project Management. Thank you!
-
@Philip Robbins sounds like you could put a post together with all the Bridge links you have found and used, I for one would find that very useful!
-
@Genevieve P. great post, thanks for sharing and appreciate all the help you have provided me and others over the years. It really is much appreciated.
-
@Genevieve P., I'm exposing your alternate identity, which is a wizard with secret data ninja skills. I'm sorry -- the world has to know. Happy belated birthday! We make it over to Cambridge and Norwich every couple of years to visit family and friends. As we're from rainy Seattle, it feels exactly the same over there. We often wonder if we've left.

Hi all, thanks for the birthday wishes and kind words!
I'm so glad to hear that my responses have been helpful. I have yet to receive my letter to go to Hogwarts so my wizard status is under review. 🦉🧙♀️
However, I did get the letter for Engage so I'll be at the Community booth in September - please come say hi! 🙂
